M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) wurden durch Reaktionen von R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) bzw. R₃BiCO₃ mit den entsprechenden fünfgliedrigen heterocyclischen Carbonsäuren 2-C₄H₃X(CH₂)_nCOOH dargestellt. Auf der Basis schwingungsspektroskopischer Daten wird für alle Verbindungen eine trigonal bipyramidale Umgebung vom M (zwei O-Atome von einzähnigen Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen, drei C-Atome von R in den äquatorialen Positionen) vorgeschlagen, ferner eine schwache Wechselwirkung zwischen O(=C) jeder Carboxylatgruppe und M. Die Kristallstrukturbestimmung von (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₃ stützt diesen Vorschlag. Die Verbindung kristallisiert triklin [Raumgruppe P$1; a = 891,8(14), b = 1058,2(12), c = 1435,6(9) pm, α = 68,53(8), β = 85,47(9), γ = 85,99(11)°; Z = 2; d(ber.) = 1,607 Mg m^–3; V(Zelle) = 1255,6 ų; Strukturbestimmung anhand von 3947 unabhängigen Reflexen (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(ungewichtet) = 0,037]. Sb bindet drei C₆H₅-Gruppen in der äquatorialen Ebene [mittlerer Abstand Sb–C: 211,1(5)pm] und zwei einzähnige Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen Positionen einer verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide [mittlerer Abstand Sb–O: 212,0(4) pm]. Aus den relativ kurzen Sb – O(=C)-Abständen [274,4(4) und 294,9(4) pm] und aus der Aufweitung des dem O(=C)-Atom nächsten äquatorialen C–Sb–C-Winkels auf 145,9(2)° [andere C-Sb-C-Winkel: 104,4(2), 109,5(2)°] wird auf schwache Sb–O(=C)-Koordination geschlossen. Schließlich wird eine Korrelation zwischen dem (+, –)I-Effekt des Organoliganden R an M (M = Sb, Bi) und der Stärke der M–O(=C)-Koordination in den Dicarboxylaten R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ vorgeschlagen. Triorganoanümony and Triorganobismuth Derivatives of Carbonic Acids of Five-membered Heterocycles. Crystal and Molecular Structure of (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ Triorganoantimony- and triorganobismuth dicarboxylates R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) have been prepared by reaction of R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁; 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) or R₃BiCO₃ with the appropriate five-membered heterocyclic carboxylic acid. From vibrational data for all compounds a trigonal bipyramidal environment around M (two O atoms of unidendate carboxylate ligands in apical, three C atoms (of R) in equatorial positions) is proposed and also an additional weak interaction of O(=C) of each carboxylate group and M. The crystal structure determination of Ph₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ gives additional prove to this proposal. It crystallizes triclinic [space group P$1; a = 891.8(14), b = 1058.2(12), c = 1435.6(9) pm, α = 68.53(8), β = 85.47(9), γ = 85.99(11)°; Z = 2; d(calc.) = 1.607 Mg m^–3; V_cell = 1255.6 ų; structure determination from 3 947 independent reflexions (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(unweighted) = 0.037]. Sb is bonding to three C₆H₅ groups in the equatorial plane [mean distance Sb–C: 211.1(5) pm] and two unidentate carboxylate ligands in the apical positions of a distorted trigonal bipyramid [mean distance Sb–O: 212.0(4) pm]. From the relatively short Sb–O(=C) distances [274.4(4) and 294.9(4) pm] and from the enlarged value of the equatorial C–Sb–C angle next to the O(=C) atom [145.9(2)°; other C–Sb–C angles: 104.4(2), 109.5(2)°] additional weak Sb–O(=C) coordination is inferred. Finally a correlation between the (+, –) I-effect of the organic ligands It at M and the strength of the M–O = C interaction is suggested.

Crystals of K₂Co₃(OH)₂(SO₄)₃·2H₂O were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure [a=17.945 (4) Å,b=7.557 (2) Å,c=9.760 (3) Å, space group Cmc2₁,Z=4] was determined by direct methods and refined with single crystal X-ray data. The H atoms were located byFourier syntheses. Their structural parameters were refined, too. The finalR-values areR=0.025 andR _w =0.028 (w=1/) for 612 reflections withF ₀>3 (F ₀). Both Co(II) atoms are octahedral six coordinated and form zigzag chains running parallel [001]. These chains are connected via sulfate groups to built up sheets parallel (100). The KO₉ polyhedron and one of the four hydrogen bonds link these sheets.

     

121Sb Mössbauer spectra of alkali metal antimonides M3Sb (M3 = Na3, K3, Na2K, Rb3)

¹²¹Sb Mössbauer spectra for M₃Sb (M₃ = Na₃, K₃, Na₂K, Rb₃) were measured at 12 K. The values of isomer shift (d) and quadrupole coupling constant suggest that the valence state of antimony in M₃Sb is –3. The d values increase in the order Rb₃Sb<K₃Sb<Na₃Sb<Na₂KSb. The differences in d values are discussed by examining M–Sb distances and bond valence for M–Sb interactions. Some covalent interactions between alkali metal atoms and antimony atom are suggested.
