Abstract

Several homoleptic silyl complexes of arsenic(III) and antimony(III), namely As(SiR 2R′) 3 (R=Me, R′=cyclohexyl (Cy); R=Me, R′=Ph; R=R′=Ph) and Sb(SiPh 3) 3, have been prepared via salt elimination reactions of R 2R′SiCl and Na 3E (E=As or Sb). The structures of two complexes, As(SiMe 2Cy) 3 and Sb(SiPh 3) 3, have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Both structures possess a three-coordinate Group 15 element centre with a pyramidal geometry of the ESi 3 core.
