The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [SbCl3{[(C6H5)(2)PO](2)CH2}], com
prises two independent molecules, in both of which the Sb atoms are in flat
tened square-pyramidal environments, with the basal planes each defined by
two O and two Cl atoms, and the apical atom being Cl in each molecule. The
geometry can alternatively be described as distorted octahedral as a result
of coordination by a sixth (Cl) atom at a longer distance.
