Triphenylantimony(V) complexes with Schiff bases

Abstract

Twelve new octahedral complexes of the type Ph₃Sb(Cl)(OC₆H₄CR=NR') (where R = H and R' = Me, Et, Pr, Bu, Ph and p-tolyl; R = Me and R' = Me, Bu and Bu') and Ph₃Sb(OMe)-(OC₆H₄CR=NR')(R = H and R' = Me; R = R' = Me) have been synthesized and characterized after purification by recrystallization. The results of the i.r. and ¹H n.m.r. spectra of these complexes suggest coordination of azomethine nitrogen to the antimony atom.
