Peculiarities of the reactions of tri(meta-tolyl)antimony and tri(ortho-tolyl)antimony with 2-nitrobenzaldoxime. The molecular structures of bis(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)tri(meta-tolyl)antimony, µ2-oxo-bis[(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)tri(meta-tolyl)antimony] and bis(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)tri(ortho-tolyl)antimony

Abstract

Bis(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)tri(meta-tolyl)antimony (1), µ₂-oxo-bis[(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)-tri(meta-tolyl)antimony] (2) and bis(2-nitrobenzaldoximato)tri(ortho-tolyl)antimony (3) have been obtained by the reactions of tri(meta-tolyl)antimony and tri(ortho-tolyl)antimony with 2-nitrobenzaldoxime in the presence of an oxidizing agent (hydrogen peroxide or tert-butyl hydroperoxide). Compounds 1–3 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.
