Abstract

A series of new rigid distibines, 1,8-bis(R2Sb)naphthalene (R = Me: ( 1); R = Ph: ( 2)), and chiral distibines, 2,2-bis(R2Sb)-1,1-binaphthyl (R = Me: ( 3); R = Ph: ( 4) obtained as racemic mixtures) and the discrete enantiomers of 4,5-bis((R2Sb)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-D/L-dioxolane (R = Me: ( 5) (L), ( 7) (D); R = Ph: ( 6) (L), ( 8) (D)) have been obtained in high yields, using either electrophilic halostibine reagents with di-lithium reagents (( 1)–( 4)) or nucleophilic stibide reagents with dibromo-derivatives (( 5)–( 8)).

The distorted octahedral complexes [Mo(CO)4(L)], L = ( 1)–( 8), planar [PtCl2(L)], L = ( 1), ( 2), ( 3), ( 5), and neutral, five-coordinate [RhCl(cod)(L)], L = ( 2), ( 4), ( 6), are reported and trends in the spectroscopic data are discussed in terms of the ligand donor properties. Crystal structures of ( 3) and [Mo(CO)4( 3)] reveal significant structural changes occur upon coordination, and these are also reflected in the solution NMR spectroscopic parameters.

Changes in the C–Sb–C angles and C–Sb bond distances upon coordination of ( 3) are discussed in term of increased s/p orbital mixing. Air oxidation of ( 1) forms a very unusual stibine oxide, the structure of which shows a distorted Sb4O4 cubane core (bridging O atoms) with two orthogonal naphthalene units.
