Antimony pseudohalides

The pseudohalides are discussed in the halogen ligand section rather than in the nitrogen ligand section because in the majority of the examples studied the pseudohalide is the minor ligand, i.e. one among many—most studied are antimony halide pseudohalides. 

Antimony pentachloride reacts with alkali pseudohalides (equation 50). Addition of further KX results in dimer formation, [SbCl4X]2. The crystal structure of [SbCLN3]2 shows a distorted...
