The reaction of 2-(RNCH)C6H4MgBr [R = 2′,4′,6′-Me3C6H2 (R1), 2′,6′-iPr2C6H3 (R2)] [prepared from 2-(R1NCH)C6H4Br (1) or 2-(R2NCH)C6H4Br (2) and Mg] with SbCl3 in a 2:1 and 1:1 molar ratio followed by treatment with an aqueous KBr solution gave [2-(R1NCH)C6H4]2SbBr (3) and [2-(R2NCH)C6H4]2SbBr (4) as well as [2-(R1NCH)C6H4]SbBr2 (6) and [2-(R2NCH)C6H4]SbBr2 (7). Treatment of 4 with Na2S·9H2O provided the dinuclear [{2-(R2NCH)C6H4}2Sb]2S (5). Heterocyclic species, i.e. the oxide cyclo-[{2-(R2NCH)C6H4}SbO]3 (8) and the sulfides cyclo-[{2-(R1NCH)C6H4}SbS]2 (9) and cyclo-[{2-(R2NCH)C6H4}SbS]2 (10), were obtained by reacting dibromides 6 and 7 with KOH and Na2S·9H2O, respectively, in a water–toluene solvent mixture. The sulfide 10 reacted with [W(CO)5(thf)] to yield the heterometallic complex cyclo-[{2-(R2NCH)C6H4}SbS]2[W(CO)5] (11). The compounds were characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in solution, mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy in the solid state. The molecular structures of 4, 5, 6·CHCl3, 7, 9·CH2Cl2, 10 and 11·0.25CH3OH were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Theoretical calculations using DFT methods were carried out on bromide 7 and the geometrical isomers of its dimer association as well as the geometrical isomers of sulfide 10 and its monomer.
