Die Enthalogenierung von Alkylantimondibromiden RSbBr2 (R = Et, Pr, Bu) mit Mg in THF führt zu gelben Lösungen, die überwiegend die Antimonfünfringe (RSb)5 neben den Vierringen (RSb)4 enthalten. Die Trimeren (RSb)3 können massenspektrometrisch nachgewiesen werden. Beim Entfernen des Lösungsmittels bilden sich reversibel die Polymeren (RSb)x (x » 5) in Form schwarzer Festkörper. In den Ringen nehmen die Substituenten R maximale trans‐Positionen ein. Die Kristallstruktur von (MesSb)4 · Benzol enthält linear …Sb4…Sb4…‐verknüpfte Cyclotetrastiban‐Aren‐Komplexe mit guter η6‐Haptizität des Benzolmoleküls an eines der vier Sb‐Atome (Ringmitte…Sb 3.81 Å, Winkel zur Flächennormale 5°). Der Sb4‐Ring ist stark und uneinheitlich gefaltet.
Trimesitylstibane (1) reacts with SbCl3 or SbBr3 to form the halostibanes Mes2SbCl (2), MesSbCl3 (3), Mes2SbBr (4). or MesSbBr2 (5) [Mes = 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2]. Action of MesMgCl on an excess of SbCl3 or SbBr3 at low temperatures gives Mes3SbCl2 (6) or Mes3SbBr2 (7), resp. Addition of Br2 to 1 gives 7 in 96% yield. The silylstibanes Mes2SbSiMe3 (8) and McsSb(SiMc3)2 (9) are formed by dehalogenation of Me3SiCl and 4 or 5 by Mg filings in tetrahydrofuran. Mes2SbOSiMe3 (10) is obtained by air oxidation of 8. Reduction of 4 with Mg gives Mes2SbSbMes2 (19). Crystals of the composition (MesSb)6·C6H6 (13a) or (MesSb)4·C6H5CH3 (13b) are obtained from Mg and 5 after work-up in benzene or toluene, resp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
