This fourth volume on organoantimony compounds describes pentavalent antimony com pounds of the type R and R . The R denotes an organic group bonded by carbon 3SbX2 3Sb=X to the antimony atom. X represents a group, inorganic or organic, which is bonded to the antimony by an atom other than carbon. The X atoms in R may be part of a 3SbX2 ring system. In the case of bidentate X ligands like 02-, S2-, SO -, CO -, and others, the compounds are placed with the mononuclear RssbX compounds. 2 I once again thank Dr. Margot Becke and Dr. Ekkehard Fluck for the stimulus that led to this book. To the...

This fifth volume on organoantimony compounds continues the description of pentavalent antimony compounds and concludes the entire series. The treatment of pentavalent compounds with three Sb-C bonds began in Part 4 with the RSbX type and is now completed with types RSb(X)Y, RR'SbX , RR'Sb(X)Y, 3 2 3 2 2 2 RR'R"SbX (Section 2.5.1) and the corresponding bi- and trinuclear compounds (Sec- 2 tions 2.5.2, p.87, and 2.5.3, p. 132). R, R', and R" denote different organic groups bonded through carbon to the antimony atom. X and Y represent inorganic or organic groups that are bonded to antimony by...
