In the title compound, [Sb(C6H5)3(C8H4F3O3)2], the Sb atom lies on an inversion centre and exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the axial positions occupied by the O atoms of two carboxylate groups and the equatorial positions occupied by C atoms of the phenyl groups. Intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the molecular conformation. In the molecules are connected by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions, forming a layer structure parallel to (01).

The reaction was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere. 3-Methoxyl-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid (2 mmol) and sodium ethoxide (2.4 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of methanol (30 ml) in a Schlenk flask and stirred for 0.5 h. Triphenylantimony dichloride (1 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. The product was crystallized from a dichloromethane/methanol (1:1 v/v) solution to yield colourless blocks of the title compound (yield 86%. m.p. 458 K). Anal. Calcd (%) for C34H23O6Sb1F6 (Mr = 763.27): C, 53.50; H, 3.04; F, 14.93; Sb, 15.95. Found (%): C, 53.55; H, 3.07; F, 14.89; Sb, 15.99
The H atoms were positioned geometrically, with methyl C—H distances of 0.96 Å and aromatic C—H distances of 0.93 Å, and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, O) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for the methyl group.

In recent years organoantimony(V) derivatives have attracted considerable attention due to their significant antimicrobial properties as well as antitumor activities. 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 Sb atom, which lies on an inversion centre, assumes a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry, provided by three phenyl groups at the equatorial positions and two carboxylate groups at the axial positions. The Sb—O bond lengths in organoantimony compounds are extremely variable, ranging from 1.935 Å in triphenylstibine oxide (Ferguson et al. 1987) to 2.506 Å in tetraphenylstibonium benzenesulphonate hydrate (Ruether et al. 1985). The Sb1—O1 distance (2.132 (2) Å) in the title compound lies within this range. The Sb—C bond distances (Sb1—C9 = 2.122 (3) Å; Sb1—C15 = 2.118 (5) Å) fall in the normal range for Sb—C(phenyl) bonds (2.10–2.13 Å). The molecular conformation is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal packing, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig.2, Table 1,) into layers parallel to the (-2 0 1) plane.
