ANTIMONY(III) DERIVATIVES WITH 1,1-DITHIOLATO LIGANDS AND THEIR ADDITION COMPLEXES WITH TRIETHYLAMINE

Replacement reactions of chloroantimony(III) bis(dialkyldithiophosphat es) with sodium/ammonium dialkyldithiocarbamates in 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene yielded dialkyldithiocarbamatoantimony(III) bis(dia lkyldithiophosphates) of the type [(RO)(2)PS2](2)SbS2CX [where, R = Pr -1, Bu-1 and X = N(Me)(2), N(Et)(2) and N(CH2CH2)(2)]. Reactions betwe en chloroantimony(III) bis(dialkyldithiophosphates) and triethylamine in 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous dichloromethane yielded addition compo unds of the type [(RO)(2)PS2](2)SbCl . NEt3 [where, R = Pr-1 and Bu-1] . These newly synthesised derivatives have been characterised by eleme ntal analysis, melting points as well as IR, H-1 NMR and P-31 NMR spec tral studies.
