The title complex molecule, [Sb(C6H5)3(C7H5ClNO2)2], possesses crystallographically imposed C2 symmetry. The Sb atom exhibits a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the axial positions occupied by the O atoms of two carboxylate groups and the equatorial positions by the C atoms of the phenyl groups. Intramolecular N-H
O and C-H
O hydrogen bonds occur.
The reaction was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere. 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid (1 mmol) and sodium ethoxide (1.2 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of methanol (30 ml) in a Schlenk flask and stirred for 0.5 h. Triphenylantimony dichloride (0.5 mmol) was then added to the reactor and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. The resulting clear solution was evaporated under vacuum. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a ether/n-hexane (1:1 v/v) solution (yield 87%). Anal. Calcd (%) for C32H25Cl2N2O4Sb (Mr = 694.19): C, 55.37; H, 3.63; Cl, 10.21; N, 4.04. Found (%): C, 55.30; H, 3.74; Cl, 10.33; N, 4.16.
The C—H and N—H H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropically using a riding model with N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N).

Organoantimony(V) complexes have been intensively studied owing to their versatile bonding modes (Yin et al., 2009) and biological applications. We have therefore synthesized the title compound, and present its crystal structure here.
The molecular structure of the compound is shown in Fig.1. The complex molecule possesses crystallographically imposed C2 symmetry, the rotation axis passing through the Sb atom and bisecting the C14–C17/C15'/C16' phenyl ring. The coordination geometry around the five-coordinate antimony atom can be described as slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with three C atoms of the phenyl groups occupying the equatorial positions and two O atoms of carboxylate groups at the axial positions. The average Sb—O bond length of 2.122 (2) Å is approximately equal to the sum of the covalent radii of Sb and O (2.07 Å), and lies within the range from 1.935 Å observed in triphenylstibine oxide (Ferguson et al., 1987) to 2.506 Å found in tetraphenylstibonium benzenesulphonate hydrate (Rüther et al., 1985). The Sb—C bond distances (Sb1—C8 = 2.101 (3) Å; Sb1—C8A = 2.101 (3) Å; Sb1—C14 = 2.122 (4) Å) fall in the normal range for Sb—C(phenyl) bonds (2.10–2.13 Å). The conformation of the complex molecule is enforced by intramolecular N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized only by van der Waals interactions.
