Pentacoordinate Organoantimony Compounds That Isomerize by Turnstile Rotation
Two stereoisomers of pentacoordinate antimony compounds (stiboranes) with a new rigid tridentate ligand were synthesized, and the isomerization was found to proceed by the turnstile rotation (TR) mechanism with the tridentate Ligand as a trio and the two monodentate ligands as a pair.
