Bismabenzene (C₅H₅Bi) is the parent representative of a group of organobismuth compounds that are related to benzene with a carbon atom replaced by a bismuth atom. Bismabenzene itself has been synthesised but not isolated because it is too reactive.^[1]^[2]

Bond lengths and angles of benzene, pyridine, phosphorine, arsabenzene, stibabenzene, and bismabenzene

An unstable derivative with 4-alkyl substituents was reported in 1982.^[3] A stable derivative was reported in 2016.^[1]^[4] This derivative has two tri(isopropyl)silyl substituents in the ortho-positions and was synthesized from aluminacyclohexadiene, bismuth trichloride, and DBU.
