trans-Tris(4-bromophenyl)dichloridoantimony(V)

Abstract

The SbV atom in the title compound, [SbCl2(C6H4Br)3], has an almost regular trigonal–bipyramidal geometry with the equatorial plane made up of three C atoms of the bromophenyl groups and the axial positions occupied by two Cl− ions in a trans configuration. In the crystal, C—H...Br hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. Pairs of C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds further link molecules into cyclic dimers with R22(10) ring motifs, generating a three-dimensional network.
