An arene-stabilized η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl antimony dication acts as a source of Sb+ or Sb3+ cations

Chem. Commun., 2020, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D0CC02710C, CommunicationJiliang Zhou, Hyehwang Kim, Liu Leo Liu, Levy Cao, Douglas W Stephan Double chloride abstraction from Cp*SbCl2 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) affords an arene-stabilized η5-Cp*-bound antimony dicationic compound [(η5-Cp*)Sb(tol)][B(C6F5)4]2 (1) (tol = toluene), which exhibits strong Lewis acidity, abstracting chloride from Ph3CCl. 1...
