reaction of a dihydrostibine bearing a 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)m
ethyl]phenyl (Tbt) group, TbtSbH(2), with elemental sulfur resulted in
the formation of two kinds of novel Sb-containing cyclic polysulfides
, TbtSbS(5) and TbtSbS(7), together with another type of two cyclic po
lysulfides having two TbtSb units, 1,3,4,5,2,6-tetrathiadistibane and
1,3,5,2,4-trithiadistibolane derivatives.
