SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF AROXY-TETRA-P-TOLYLANTIMONY (4-MeC6H4)4SbOC6H2Br2-2,6-(t-Bu)-4

Penta-p-tolylantimony interaction with 2,6-dibromo(4-tert-butyl)phenol has led to synthesis of the complex tetra-p-tolylantimony 2,6-dibromo(4-tert-butyl)phenoxide, whose structure has been established by X-ray diffraction. The antimony atom in the molecule (4-MeC6H4)4SbOC6H2Br2-2,6-(t-Bu)-4 has distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with the aroxy group in axial position. The bond Sb-O is 2.229(2) Å, the axial angle CSbO is 176.82(10)
