A1 - Radacki, Krzysztof A1 - Radius, Udo T1 - N‐Heterocyclic Carbene and Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene Adducts of Antimony(III) JF - European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry N2 - A systematic study on Lewis-acid/base adducts of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene cAAC\(^{Me}\) (1-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) with antimony(III) chlorides of the general formula SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl, Ph, Mes) is presented. The reaction of the NHCs Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3-di-isopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), Mes\(_{2}\)Im, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (R\(_{2}\)Im=1,3-di-organyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene; Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, Dipp=2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) with antimony(III) compounds SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (1), Ph (2) and Mes (3)) yields the adducts NHC ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4), Ph (5) and Mes (6); NHC=Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (a), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (b), Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (c) and Mes\(_{2}\)Im (d)) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4 e) and Ph (5 e)). Thermal treatment of (Dipp\(_{2}\)Im) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Ph (5 c) and Mes (6 c)) in benzene leads to isomerization to the backbone coordinated \(^{a}\)NHC-adduct \(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Mes (7) and Ph (8)) (\(^{"a"}\) denotes “abnormal” coordination mode of the NHC) in high yields. One of the chloride substituents at antimony of 7 can be abstracted by GaCl3 or Ag[BF\(_{4}\)] to obtain the imidazolium salts [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][BF\(_{4}\)] (9) and [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][GaCl\(_{4}\)] (10).

A mechanism for the formation of [cAAC\(^{R}\)Cl][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] 1 and cAAC\(^{R}\)⋅SbMes 2 from the reaction of cAAC with the antimony(III) precursor SbCl\(_{2}\)Mes, which proceeds via the isolable intermediate [cAAC\(^{R}\)SbClMes][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] (3), is proposed.
