Darstellung und Kristallstrukturen von Phenyliodoantimonaten(III). Strukturkorrelation für Halogenoantimonate(III) / Preparation and Crystal Structures of Phenyliodoantimonates(III). Structural Correlation for Haloantimonates(III)

Abstract

The phenyliodoantimonates(III) [Et4N][Ph2SbI2] (1), [Et4N]2[Ph2Sb2I6] (2) and [Hpy]3[Ph2Sb2I7] (3) have been prepared and their structures established by X-ray structural analysis. The anion [Ph2SbI2]⁻ displays a ψ-trigonal bipyramidal structure with axial Sb–I distances of 2.925(1) and 3.109(1) A. In the dimeric anions [Ph2Sb2I6]2- and [Ph2Sb2I7]3- the antimony atoms exhibit ψ-octahedral geometries. As observed for [Ph2SbI2]⁻, terminal Sb–I bonds in trans-position to one another display significantly different lengths. The anion [Ph2Sb2I7]3- displays Ci- symmetry with a bridging iodine atom at the crystallographic centre of symmetry. Long Sb—I distances of 3.404(1) A are observed to this atom. A structural correlation of opposite Sb–X distances (X = Cl, Br, I) in linear three centre X–Sb ··· X interactions is presented. The sum of the bond valences in iodoantimonates(III) is a minimum for symmetrical I–Sb–I three centre bonds, reflecting thereby the antibonding influence of the Sb 5 s-orbital. This influence is considerably smaller for bromoantimonates(III) and may be effectively neglected for chloroantimonates(III).
