Ra. Siddiqui et al., PREPARATION AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TRIARYL METAL(V) COMPLEXES (M=AS, SB) OF TRIDENTATE AND TETRADENTATE SCHIFF-BASES, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 26(7), 1996, pp. 1189-1203
Hitherto unreported penta-coordinated triarylarsenic(V) complexes of S
chiff bases of the general formula Ar(3)AsL (Ar = C6H5, p-CH3C6H4, p-C
lC6H4, p-FC6H4 and C6F5; L = dibasic tri- and tetradentate ligands wit
h ONO and ONNO systems) have been synthesised along with some triaryla
ntimony complexes with similar tridentate ligands. The complexes, whic
h are yellow crystalline solids, have been characterised by elemental
analyses, IR, H-1 and F-19 NMR spectral data sp(3)d and sp(3)d(2) hybr
idisation has been suggested for the arsenic and antimony derivatives,
respectively, on the basis of spectral data.
