Synthesis and structure of the dimeric organo-antimony (V) imido complex [Ph3Sb(μ-NCH2CH2Ph)]2

Abstract The amine PhCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 undergoes dimetallation by [Ph 3 Sb(NMe 2 ) 2 ] ( 1 ) under mild conditions to give the first structurally authenticated example of an organo-Sb(V) imido complex, [Ph 3 Sb(μ-NCH 2 CH 2 Ph)] 2 ( 2 ).
