Synthesis and reactivity of dibenzometallole complexes of gold(III) and platinum(II)

Preparation and crystal structures of five organoantimony halides; (p-tolyl)antimony(III) dichloride and dibromide, diphenylantimony(III) bromide, 2′-diyl)antimony(III) chloride and bis-(2′-chlorobiphenyl-2-yl)antimony(V) trichloride

antimony–halogen interactions trans to the apical carbon
atom lead to solid-state dimers, implying Lewis acidity at antimony
Antimony in the thiocyanate 5 showed similar square-pyramidal geometry
with N-bonded thiocyanate groups but bridging by one thiocyanate again
gives dimers in the solid Oxidative addition between SbPhCl
