Abstract

Reactions of trimethylphosphine or diphosphines with SbCl3 in the presence of AlCl3 or Me3SiSO3CF3 give ligand stabilized stibenium and stibinidenium cations. The geometry at each antimony center reveals a variety of environments for antimony that describes new bonding and highlights new directions in the chemistry of the pnictogen elements.
