Triarylantimony(V) catecholate complexes were synthesized by the oxidative addition of 3,6-ditert-butyl-4,5-dimethoxy-o-benzoquinone to triarylstibines. The electrochemical properties and antiradical activity of the synthesized compounds were studied. According to cyclic viltammetry data, the complexes are oxidized via two consecutive quasi-reversible stages. Introduction of halogen atoms in para-position of phenyl groups at Sb(V) causes anodic shifts of the oxidation potentials and enhances stability of the mono-and dicationic forms of the compounds, which form in the course of electrochemical transformations. Triarylantimony(V) catecholate complexes exhibit appreciable antiradical activity in the auto-oxidation of oleic acid. In was found that the inhibitory activity of the complexes depends on their redox potential.Previously we showed that the redox characteristics, antiradical activity of organo-antimony(V) complexes with redox-active ligands, as well as their ability to bind molecular oxygen depends on a variety of factors [1-6]. Electron-donating substituent group in the redox-active fragment facilitates O 2 binding, shifts anodic oxidation potentials to the cathodic region, and enhances the antiradical activity of Sb(V) compounds [7,8]. Electron withdrawing groups in the catecholate ligand increase the potentials of the catecholate-о-semiquinolate-о-benzoquinone redox transitions and sometimes alter the mechanism of electrochemical oxidation of triphenylantimony(V) catecholate complexes from a two-stage one-electron transfer to one-stage two-electron transfer process [9, 10]. The stability of the cationic complexes resulting from electrochemical oxidation is also affected by the nature of the heteroatoms forming five-membered N, O,Oor S,. The properties of Sb(V) catecholate complexes can also be varied not only by varying substituents in the redox-active ligand, but also by functionalizing groups linked to the central antimony atom [15]. In the present work we continued to study the effect of aryl substituents (phenyl, pchlorophenyl, p-fluorophenyl) in the organometallic fragment SbR 3 of triarylantimony(V) 3,6-di-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethoxycatecholate complexes on the electrochemical transformations and antiradical activity in the auto-oxidation of oleic acid.We have synthesized triphenylantimony, tri-pchlorophenyl-, and tri-p-chlorophenylantimony catecholate complexes I-III by the oxidative addition of the corresponding triarylstibines to 3,6-di-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethoxy-о-benzoquinone (Scheme 1).Complex I was described in [5]. Complexes II and III were characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry; their structure was found to be consistent with the suggested formulas. The oxidation potential relates to the reducing ability of a compound and is a factor which allows one to predict the antiradical activity. The electrochemical
