Abstract

Tetraphenylantimony chloride and bromide were synthesized through the reaction of pentaphenylantimony with diphenylantimony trichloride or tribromide taken at a molar ratio of 2 : 1 in toluene. When the initial compounds were taken at a molar ratio of 1 : 1, triphenylantimony dichloride or dibromide was formed. The phenylation of triphenylantimony sulfate with pentaphenylantimony yielded tetraphenylantimony sulfate. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the antimony atom in the tetraphenylantimony chloride molecule has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration with the chlorine atom in the axial position. The Sb–Cl distance is equal to 2.686(1) and Sb–C distances are equal to 2.113(4) and 2.165(4) A (av. 2.130 A).
