Phosphaniminato-Komplexe des Antimons. Die Kristallstrukturen von [Sb2Cl5(NPMe3)2][SbCl6] · CH3CN und [SbCl(NPPh3)]2[SbCl6]2 · 6 CH3CN

Phosphorane Iminato Complexes of Antimony. The Crystal Structures of Sb₂Cl₅(NPMe₃)₂]SbCl₆] · CH₃CN and SbCl(NPPh₃)]₂SbCl₆]₂ · 6 CH₃CN The title compounds are formed by reaction of antimony pentachloride in acetonitrile solution with the phosphorane iminato complexes SbCl₂(NPMe₃) and SbCl₂(NPPh₃), respectively, which themselves are synthesized by reaction of antimony trichloride with Me₃SiNPR₃ (R = Me, Ph). The complexionic compounds are characterized by ¹²¹Sb Mössbauer spectroscopy and by crystal structure determinations.
