The molecular structure of (acetylacetonato)dichlorodiphenylantimony in the crystalline state

Abstract

Crystals of (acetylacetonato)dichlorodiphenylantimony are monoclinic (P21/c) with cell dimensions a = 13.24, b = 9.22, c = 15.49 Å and β = 109.24° (Z = 4). The structure determined by a three-dimensional X-Ray analysis was refined with 2633 independent diffractometer data to a final R value of 0.075. The antimony atom is hexacoordinated, with the phenyl groups in trans-positions.
