Redetermination of tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)antimony(III)

M. Que, Y. C. Zhang, Z. D. Liu and H. P. Zhou

Abstract: The title compound, [Sb(C₅H₁₀NS₂)₃], was synthesized from Sb₂O₃, diethylamine, carbon disulfide, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The structure has been published previously but H atoms were not included in the model [Raston & White (1976). Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. p. 791]. The current determination has significantly higher precision than the original work. The complex has three ligands. The Sb atom is coordinated by three bidentate diethyldithiocarbamate groups, two in an almost planar fashion and the third perpendicular to that plane with a dihedral angle of 86.429 (13)°. One ethyl group is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy.
