| Abstract: | Methoxostibanes. Structure and Vibrational Spectra The crystal and molecular structure of Sb(OMe)3 ( 1 ) was determined by X-ray analysis. 1 forms layers in which the Sb atoms are coordinated by 6 O atoms. The halogenomethoxostibanes SbCl(OMe)2 ( 2 ), SbCl2(OMe) ( 3 ), SbBr(OMe)2 ( 4 ), SbBr2(OMe) ( 5 ), and SbI(OMe)2 ( 6 ), which were partially prepared for the first time, as well as 1 were examinated by vibrational spectroscopy. The spectra were discussed in view of the structure in the solid state. 2, 4 , and 6 posses a structure similar to that of 1 with Sb2O2 and Sb2Cl2 ring systems. The coordination number of Sb is 6. In 3 and 5 there are also Sb2O2 and Sb2Hal2 rings, but the structures are probably different from those of 2 and 4 . |
