Novel antimony cluster displaying a quadruply bridging chloride. X-Ray crystal structure of {[Fe(η-C5H5)2]2[Sb4Cl12O]}2·2C6H6
Abstract
The product of the reaction between SbCl3 and Fe(η-C5H5)2 in benzene is shown by X-ray crystallography to possess an octameric unit [Sb4Cl12O]24–, with terminal and bridging chloride groups and bridging oxo-groups; the ferricenium cations are shown to adopt the eclipsed configurations.
