Novel antimony(III) imidazole selone complexes under a super crowded environment are reported for the first time. The super bulky selone antimony complexes, [{IPr*Se}(SbCl3)2] (1) and [IPr*Se(SbBr3)2] (2), were isolated from...

The antimony halide‐aided stereospecific coordination of a cyclic thiourea‐type of ligand is observed for the first time. The antimony(III) imidazole thione complexes syn‐[(L1)SbCl3] (syn‐1) and anti‐[(L1)SbBr3] (anti‐2) have been synthesized in very good yield by the reaction between the spatially defined steric impact ligand [(IPaul)S] (L1) ([(IPaul)S]=1,3‐bis(2,4‐methyl‐6‐diphenyl phenyl)imidazole thione) and corresponding antimony halide. The stereoselective formation of complexes syn‐1 and anti‐2 has been confirmed by both NMR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. Interestingly the stereospecific nature of syn‐1 and anti‐2 remains intact in solution. Furthermore, the thermal stability of antimony(III) imidazole thione complexes were examined by TGA analysis.

Water-soluble superbulky (η6-p-cymene) ruthenium(ii) amine complex mediated oxidative homocoupling of arylboronic acids and the hydration of organonitriles are reported.
