Bismuth subsalicylate with the empirical chemical formula of C7H5BiO4 is a colloidal substance obtained by hydrolysis of bismuth salicylate (BiC6H4(OH)CO23). The actual structure is unknown and the formulation is only approximate. Recent evidence indicates that it is composed of a bismuth oxide core structure with salicylate ions attached to the surface. A model structure has recently been published having the composition Bi38O44C6H3(OH)CO226.
