Phosphorus-antimony bonds synthesis

The synthesis of stable complexes with transition metal-phosphorus triple bonds is of fundamental importance and opens a novel chapter of a special field of coordination chemistry. The synthesis of analogous complexes with ligands of the heavier homologues like arsenic has partially been carried out [6], while for antimony and bismuth, the elusive M=Sb and M=Bi systems have now moved within reach. Moreover, the experimental and theoretical...
