Bi(S2CNMe2)2 (5), were obtained and their potential use as single source precursors for obtaining Bi2S3 was investigated. All synthesis were carried out under an argon atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques. Compound 5 shows clean decomposition to Bi2S3 in the 220-320 °C temperature range, while in the case of 4 decomposition is plagued by a potential redistribution process. The solvents were distilled under argon prior to use. There are a few reports on the thermal decomposition of organobismuth(III) dithiocarbamates with the formation of Bi2S3. Organobismuth(III) dithiocarbamates are usually prepared by metathesis reactions between the corresponding organobismuth(III) halide and the sodium, potassium or ammonium dithiocarbamate. While a wide range of organometallic dithiocarbamates have been described, reports on organometallic bismuth(III) derivatives with dithiocarbamate ligands are however relatively scarce in the literature.

BiCl3 was sublimated at 225 °C under high vacuum (10−3 mbar) and was kept under argon.

Choosing Good Silver

Welsh Government strategy on the internal use of the Welsh language. We are proud of the Welsh language and want it to thrive. The year 2050: the Welsh language is thriving, the number of speakers has reached a million, and it is used in every aspect of life. Implementing that vision will involve generational change, halting the decline of the last century. The First Minister has also pledged to “mainstream” the Welsh language into the development of policy and to the way we work more generally. The Welsh language – y Gymraeg – is integral to our culture, our heritage and our daily lives. An important part of the vision involves renewing the association between the language and the workplace. It is part of our shared inheritance and identity as a nation. This will enable staff to work in Welsh from day to day and there will be a significant increase in the use of the language as a result. Mae’r ddogfen yma hefyd ar gael yn Gymraeg. There is an onus on us to take proactive steps to support and increase the use of the language, and to pass it on to future generations. As a result the Welsh Government has already committed to “… Welsh by our own workforce” (Theme 2 Increasing the Use of Welsh, chapter 6 The Workplace). But its future across Wales cannot be taken for granted. So our goal is that the Welsh Government should gradually become a truly bilingual organisation; one in which it is routine for the Welsh and English languages to both be used naturally and interchangeably. Set in this context, the Welsh Government’s goal for the Welsh language within the organisation is that by 2050 all staff working for the Welsh Government will be able to understand Welsh. This is the Welsh Government’s vision for the Welsh language in Wales (Cymraeg 2050: A million Welsh speakers, Welsh Government, 2017). It is to see, by 2050, a million speakers using the language in every aspect of their lives, and doubling the percentage of people in Wales who speak and use the language daily. This is something we can all do together. This file may not be fully accessible. Welsh is spoken for cultural, commercial, social and emotional reasons, but it is also a vocational skill – a skill that should be better recognised and utilised.

It is something that can unite us as a nation. We know that what we do within the Welsh Government will influence other parts of the public sector in Wales. It is important to be clear what is meant by a bilingual organisation. With that in mind this strategy is underpinned by the following principles. We are conscious of how using Welsh in the workplace can give the language more purpose and relevance. The language is not exclusive to those who can speak it today. This is especially the case in so far as those learning Welsh in our schools are concerned, who should understand that the language will be a useful skill for them in the workplace. This has relevance that goes beyond being able to provide all outward facing services and internal formal communications in both languages. Statistics show that 86% of people across Wales feel that the language is something to be proud of. We need to establish a common understanding that the Welsh language belongs to us all whatever our linguistic background. Making a long term commitment and leading the way: change will be incremental and will happen over time, but we intend to lead by example in the way we promote use of the language in the workplace. Remaining an open, inclusive and diverse organisation: everyone has the potential to be a Welsh speaker and this strategy does not conflict with our commitment to being open, inclusive and diverse – although Welsh language skills will progressively be needed for more posts, developing a bilingual workforce does not mean (or imply) those skills being a universal pre-requisite for joining the Welsh Government. Eventually a choice of language will be available operationally within the organisation, meaning we will be able to routinely choose whether to communicate (orally and in writing) in Welsh or English, or indeed both. However, we are conscious also that steps taken to increase use of the language must be reasonable and proportionate, which means that becoming a bilingual organisation will involve change that happens gradually. Investing in staff and providing opportunities to learn Welsh and develop language skills: it is crucial that effective and convenient training is provided, with people given both time and motivation to continuously improve their Welsh language skills. But while some are comfortable speaking Welsh – more often than not as the language was passed on to them by their families – many are not. This is why our long term goal is to become a bilingual organisation. Our strategy on the use of Welsh in the workplace is, in many respects, set by the political direction and legal framework that have already been established; to promote the language and to increase its use.
