ADDITION C O M P O U N D S OF ALKOXY ANTIMONY(V) TETRACHLORIDES WITH SOME PHOSPHORYL A N D AMINE-OXIDE LIGANDS RAM CHAND PAUL, HARMEET MADAN and S. L. CHADHA Department of Chemistry, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India (Received 12 December 1972)
Abstract--Complexes of alkoxy antimony(V) tetrachlorides, Sb(OR)CI4 (where R = CH3, CzH 5 and C2H4C1) with a variety of phosphoryl and amine-oxide ligands have been prepared and characterized by their analytical data, molecular weights, molar conductance and infrared spectra.
INTRODUCTION METAL alkoxides are known to be poor acceptors due to polymerization through alkoxy bridges so that the central metal atom acquires its favoured coordination number. It has been found that the incorporation of an electron withdrawing group in place of the alkoxy group or in the alkoxy group reduces their degree of polymerization[l] and makes the central metal atom a better acceptor[2,3]. Ethoxy antimony(V) tetrachloride has been shown to be dimeric by X-ray analysis[4], the antimony acquiring hexacoordination which is its most favoured coordination state. As no complexes of alkoxy antimony(V) tetrachlorides are known and their interaction with donor molecules has been noticed, we have tried to prepare their complexes with some phosphoryl and amine-oxide donors.
kept overnight before precipitating. The complexes of dipyridyl dioxide and 8-hydroxy quinoline N-oxide were prepared by mixing these ligands with the chloroform solution of the alkoxide and refluxing for about 1 hr. A small change in the quantities of the reacting species did not affect the composition of the complexes. As far as possible, a dry box was used for manipulations. Antimony was determined volumetrically[6]. Chloride was determined gravimetrically as silver chloride by fusion with a mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide and precipitating silver chloride from a nitric acid solution of the cooled melt. I.R. spectra of the complexes were examined in potassium bromide pellets or as Nujol mull films using Perkin-Elmer 337 and 521 infrared spectrophotometers. Molecular weights were determined cryoscopically and molar conductances in nitrobenzene.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
EXPERIMENTAL Chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ether, phosphorus(V) oxytrichloride and hexamethylphosphoramide were purified by the usual methods. Methoxy-, ethoxy- and 2-chloroethoxy antimony(V) tetrachlorides were prepared by the addition of sulphites of the corresponding alcohols to a cold solution of antimony(V) chloride in chloroform under anhydrous conditions[5]. The solids produced were filtered, washed with carbon tetrachloride and dried under vacuum. Preparation of complexes
The complex of methoxy antimony(V) tetrachloride with hexamethylphosphoramide was prepared by mixing these reactants in equimolar quantities in chloroform. After allowing the solution to stand for an hour the solid complex was precipitated by adding dry ether. The complex w a s washed 3-4 times with ether and dried under vacuum. Other complexes were prepared similarly. For the preparation of phosphorus(V) oxytrichloride complexeswith mixtures were
As is evident from the analytical data (Table 1), the alkoxy antimony(V) tetrachloride, Sb(OR)C14 (where R = CH a, C2H~ and C2H4C1) form 1:1 (ligands: Sb(OR)CI~) addition compounds with bexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), triphenylphosphineoxide (TPPO), trimethylphosphineoxide (TMPO), trimethylphosphate (TMP), phosphorus(V) oxytrichlodde (POCI3) , pyridine N-oxide (PY-O), ~,-,fl- and 7-pi¢oline oxides (pie-O), 8-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide (HQ-O) and 1:2 complexes with 0t,~t'-dipyridyl N-N'-dioxide (dipy-O2). These complexes are sensitive to moisture. Molecular weights of some of the complexes which have sufficient solubility in nitrobenzene indicate them to be monomeric (Table 1). Molar conductance of 10-3 M solutions of some of the complexes in nitrobenzene is of the order of 4--8 cm 2 f~- i mole- 1which suggests them to be predominantly covalent.

The significant i.r. absorption frequencies for the complexes are given in Table 2. The P=O stretching frequencies[7,8] of the ligands containing phosphoryl group shift to a lower spectral region by 40-120 c m - 1 in the complexes. This indicates the coordination of these ligands through their phosphoryl oxygen atom [9] to antimony. This mode of coordination is further supported by an increase in the P - N and P - O - C stretching frequencies for H M P A and (TPPO and T M P O ) respectively. The amine-oxide ligands have characteristic vibra-
tions at nearly 1250 and 850 c m - 1 assigned to the N - O stretching and bending frequencies[10] respectively. The spectra of the complexes (Table 2) reveal the lowerLug of both the N - O stretching and bending modes as compared to those in the free lignnds. This is attributed to the coordination[ll] of these ligands through the oxygen atom of the N--O group. Apart from this, the C - H stretching (out of plane deformation of the ring) shifts to a higher frequency in the complexes which supports the above mentioned mode of coordination. In the case of the complexes of ~t,~t'-dipyridyl N,N'-

dioxide, the two bands corresponding to each of the N - O stretching and bending modes of the pure ligand [12] shift to lower frequencies indicating that this ligand is bidentate[13] through both of its oxygen atoms. I.R. spectra of the pure alkoxy antimony(V) tetrachlorides and their complexes in the 600-250 c m region (Table 2) reveal the presence of a strong band in the 325-346 c m - 1 region where Sb-C1 vibrations of SbCI~ occur[13-15] (v 3 of SbCI 6 in PyHSbC16 is at 336 cm-1)[13].

vibrations[4] arc absent in the spectra of their complexes. Absence of these bands is evidently thc result of the rupture of the alkoxy bridges present in the purc alkoxides. This is further supported by the molecular weight studies.In addition to this,somc new bands have been found around 390-440 cm- i in the spectra of somc of the complexes. These bands may bc assigned to thc O--,Sb coordinate bond formed bctwccn the oxygen atom of the ligand and antimony by analogy with the earlier i.r.spectral data of the complexes of antimony(V) chloride with trimethylphosphine oxide[15].
