Bis(1-ferrocenylethanone oximato)triphenylantimony(V)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe2Sb(C5H5)2(C6H5)3(C7H7NO)2] or [Sb(C6H5)3{Fe(C5H5)(C7H7NO)}2], the Sb center has a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with the three phenyl ligands in equatorial positions and the two O atoms from the ferrocenylethanone oximate ligands in axial positions. The crystal structure is stabilized by two intermolecular C—H...π interactions.
