“…Dehydrochloride coupling reactions have been reported for AsCl 3 8 and SbCl 3 , 9 but not for BiCl 3 , although reactions of alkali metal amides with PnCl 3 have been generally applied to prepare 2,4-substituted cyclo-2,4dipnicta-1,3-diazanes (Pn 5 As, [10][11][12][13][14] Pn 5 Sb, 9,14-22 Pn 5 Bi 14,22,23 ). Cyclotripnictatriazanes 8Pn are rare, [24][25][26] but recently we have realized that the presence of the medium sized substituents 2,6dimethylphenyl-(Dmp) or 2,6-diisopropylphenyl-(Dipp) at nitrogen facilitates transformation of the dimer 7 to the trimer 8 for Pn 5 P 27 or As. 28 Imposition of this subtle substituent steric strain on the stibazane system has now allowed for the identification of the amine-stibine adduct 1Sb, the bisaminestibine adduct 4Sb, the first acyclic dipnictadiazane 6Sb and the first six-membered cyclotristibatriazane 8Sb.…”
