ABSTRACT:

Two novel organidioxygen complexes of antimony (V) of compositions [Sb(O2)2.2py.CI] and [Sb(O2)2.2py.Cl][py=pyridine, det=diethylene triamine] have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, infrared and Raman spectral studies. The v1(O-O) stretching modes of the complexes are both IR and Raman active.giving bands at 790-800 cm-1. The complexes were found to be effective stoichiometric reagents for the oxidation of PPh3 and trans-stilbene to their oxides.
