“…Our group has been interested in molecules that feature Sb–O bonds with relevance in medicinal and synthetic organometallic chemistry. − Unlike phosphine oxides and arsine oxides of the form R 3 Pn=O/R 3 Pn + –O – (Pn = P, As), which readily exist as tetrahedral monomers, stibine oxides are typically dimeric or oligomeric with Sb–O single bonds. − The currently accepted model of pnictoryl bonding (Pn=O/Pn + –O – ) involves a polar covalent single bond stabilized by backdonation from O-centered lone pairs to Pn–C σ* orbitals . The remarkable stability of the phosphoryl bond can be exploited to drive reactions to completion, − and its polarity allows phosphine oxides to find diverse applications in coordination chemistry, uranium capture, supramolecular synthesis, medicine, and catalysis. , …”

Phosphine oxides and arsine oxides are common laboratory reagents with diverse applications that stem from the chemistry exhibited by these monomeric species. Stibine oxides are, in contrast, generally dimeric or oligomeric species because of the reactivity-quenching self-association of the highly polarized stiboryl (Sb=O/Sb + −O − ) group. We recently isolated Dipp 3 SbO (Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), the first example of a kinetically stabilized monomeric stibine oxide, which exists as a bench-stable solid and bears an unperturbed stiboryl group. Herein, we report the isolation of Mes 3 SbO (Mes = mesityl), in which the less bulky substituents maintain the monomeric nature of the compound but unlock access to a wider range of reactivity at the unperturbed stiboryl group relative to Dipp 3 SbO. Mes 3 SbO was found to be a potent Lewis base in the formation of adducts with the main-group Lewis acids PbMe 3 Cl and SnMe 3 Cl. The accessible Lewis acidity at the Sb atom results in a change in the reactivity with GeMe 3 Cl, SiMe 3 Cl, and CPh 3 Cl. With these species, Mes 3 SbO formally adds the E−Cl (E = Ge, Si, C) bond across the unsaturated stiboryl group to form a 5-coordinate stiborane. The biphilicity of Mes 3 SbO is sufficiently potent to activate even the C−F and Si−F bonds of C(p-MeOPh) 3 F and SiEt 3 F, respectively. These results mark a significant contribution to an increasingly rich literature on the reactivity of polar, unsaturated main-group motifs. Furthermore, these results highlight the utility of a kinetic stabilization approach to access unusual bonding motifs with unquenched reactivity that can be leveraged for small-molecule activation.

Recent advances in the stabilization of monomeric stibinidene chalcogenides and stibine chalcogenides

Abstract: The synthetic strategies employed to isolate monomeric stibinidene chalcogenides (RSbCh) and monomeric stibine chalcogenides (R3SbCh) are discussed, and a perspective on the outcomes and future directions of this exciting area is provided.
