Establishing the Coordination Chemistry of Antimony(V) Cations: Systematic Assessment of Ph<sub>4</sub>Sb(OTf) and Ph<sub>3</sub>Sb(OTf)<sub>2</sub> as Lewis Acceptors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the stiboranes Ph4 Sb(OTf) (1 a, OTf = OSO2 CF3 ) and Ph3 Sb(OTf)2 (3) with Lewis bases has been investigated. The significant steric encumbrance of the Sb center in 1 a precludes interaction with most ligands, but the relatively low steric demands of 4-methylpyridine-N-oxide (OPyrMe) and OPMe3 enabled the characterization of [Ph4 Sb(OPyrMe)][OTf] (2 a) and [Ph4 Sb(OPMe3 )][OTf] (2 b), rare examples of structurally characterized complexes of stibonium acceptors. In contrast, 3 was found to engage a variety of Lewis bases, forming stable isolable complexes of the form [Ph3 Sb(donor)2 ][OTf]2 [donor=OPMe3 (6 a), OPCy3 (6 b, Cy=cyclohexyl), OPPh3 (6 c), OPyrMe (6 d)], [Ph3 Sb(dmap)2 (OTf)][OTf] (6 e, dmap=4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) and [Ph3 Sb(donor)(OTf)][OTf] [donor=1,10-phenanthroline (7 a) or 2,2'-bipy (7 b, bipy=bipyridine)]. These compounds exhibit significant structural diversity in the solid-state, and undergo ligand exchange reactions in line with their assignment as coordination complexes. Compound 3 did not form stable complexes with phosphine donors, with reactions instead leading to redox processes yielding SbPh3 and products of phosphine oxidation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
