Abstract
The ligands tris(8-quinolyl)stibine and tris(6-methyl-8-quinolyl)stibine have been synthesized and complexed to rhodium using (MeCN)3RhCl3. The resulting complexes feature an unusual [RhSb]VI core as a result of the formal insertion of the antimony center into one of the Rh–Cl bonds. Computational analysis using density functional theory (DFT) methods reveals that the resulting Rh–Sb σ bond is polarized toward the Rh atom, suggesting a description of this linkage as a Rh → Sb Z-type interaction.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
