The title complex, [Sb(C6H5)3(C8H4F3O2)2], is located on a twofold axis defined by the metal center and two C atoms of a coordinated phenyl group. The environment of the Sb atom approximates a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with the axial positions occupied by the O atoms of symmetry-related 4-(trifluoro­meth­yl)benzoate ligands. In this ligand, the CF3 group is disordered by rotation about the C—C bond and the F atoms are distributed over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.62 (3) and 0.38 (3). In the crystal, mol­ecules are assembled in a three-dimensional framework through weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Some triorganoantimony(V) complexes with acetylferroceneoxime as ligand showed in vitro antitumor activity (Yin et al., 2008). The related title compound may show similar activity. The title complex is also related to triphenyl-bis(4-methylbenzoato-κO)-antimony(V), previously characterized (Sharutin et al., 2003), although both complexes are not isostructural and crystallize in different space groups.

The crystal structure of the title complex consists of isolated molecules which have C2 molecular symmetry. The 2-fold axis is defined by atoms Sb1/C15/C18. The coordination geometry around the antimony center is best described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid. Two carboxylate groups occupy the axial sites with O1—Sb1—-O1i angle being 176.0 (3)° [symmetry code: (i) 2 - x, 1 - y, z]. In the equatorial plane, the sum of angles C9—Sb1—C9i, C9—Sb1—C15 and C15—Sb1—C9i is 360.0°. The Sb1—O1 bond length, 2.150 (5) Å, is significantly different from the corresponding distance in [4-(C5H5FeC5H4)C6H4COO]2Sb(C6H4F-4)3, 2.087 (6) Å (Yu et al., 2004), but much shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii for Sb and O, 3.2 Å. The Sb—C distances fall in the expected range found in the literature (Yu et al., 2004).

Experimental top

4-Trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (0.152 g, 0.8 mmol) and sodium methoxide (0.8 mmol) were added to a stirring solution containing dichlorotriphenylantimony (0.172 g, 0.4 mmol) in toluene (25 ml). After refluxing for 8 h., a colorless solution was obtained and then filtered. The solvent was gradually removed by evaporation under vacuum until a white solid was obtained. The solid was recrystallized from petroleum ether/dichoromethane (1:1) to give colorless crystals of the title complex.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier C). F atoms were found to be disordered over two positions: F1/F1', F2/F2' and F3/F3'. Their occupancies were refined with the sum constrained to unity, and converged to 0.62 (3) [F1/F2/F3] and 0.38 (3) [F1'/F2'/F3']. Geometry was restrained (restraints not given). The Flack parameter has been refined (1284 measured Friedel pairs), although not documented by authors.
