Aryl Compounds of Pentavalent Antimony: Syntheses, Reactions, and Structures

The synthesis methods, some reactions, and specific features of the structures of aryl compounds of pentavalent antimony and examples of their possible use are systematized and described on the basis of an analysis of the works published since 2009 to the present time. Some earlier works are also reviewed due to this special significance. When discussing the synthesis methods, the main attention is given to the most efficient approaches to the syntheses of the aryl compounds, for example, the reactions of ligand redistribution, substitution, and oxidative addition. The formation of heterocyclic antimony compounds is considered. The data on the biological and catalytic activities of selected antimony derivatives are presented. The bibliography consists of 318 references.
