“…In earlier works [NH 4 ] 2 [PhSiF 5 ] was used for phenylation of SbF 3 in aqueous solution to give Ph 2 SbF. 7,8 This is, so far, the only R 2 SbF species investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; its solid state structure consisting of innite chains of Ph 2 SbF units connected by strong intermolecular uorine bridges. 8 It should be noted here that organotin(IV) uorinating agents such as Me 3 SnF or [2-(Me 2 NCH 2 )C 6 H 4 ]Sn( n Bu) 2 F were used successfully in halogen exchange reactions to prepare organoantimony(III) diuorides of the type [2,6-(YCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ]SbF 2 (Y ¼ MeO, t BuO, Me 2 N) from the corresponding dichlorides containing (O,C,O)or (N,C,N)-pincer ligands.…”
