Syntheses and structures of tetraphenylantimony γ-phenyl-and γ-thiobutylacetylacetonates

Abstract

Tetraphenylantimony γ-phenylacetylacetonate (I) and tetraphenylstibium γ-thiobutylacetylacetonate (II) are synthesized by the reaction of pentaphenylantimony with γ-phenylacetylacetone or γ-thiobutylacetylacetone in toluene. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the antimony atoms in complexes I and II have a distorted octahedral coordination. In complex I, the Sb-C bond lengths are 2.155(2)–2.170(1) A, and the Sb-O(1), Sb-O(2) and O(1)-C(2), O(2)-C(4) in the heterocycle are 2.215(1), 2.227(1) and 1.282(2), 1.277(2) A, respectively. In complex II, the bond lengths are the following: Sb-C 2.147(3)–2.161(3), Sb-O(1, 2) 2.281(2), 2.215(2), and O-C 1.267(3)–1.278(3) A.
