In the title compound, [Sb(C5H8NOS2)3], the SbIII ion adopts a distorted penta­gonal–pyramidal geometry because of its stereochemically active lone pair of electrons. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are associated into dimers by short inter­molecular Sb...S contacts [3.4111 (17) Å].

Comment top

Dithiocarbamates have been known as effective ligands for transition metal ions, which can form chelates (Xu et al., 2001) or act as bridging ligands (Bardaji et al., 1994). As a contribution to the chemistry of main-group metal complexes with dithiocarbamates, we present here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I).

In (I) (Fig. 1), the SbIII ion is coordinated by the six S atoms [Sb—S 2.474 (2)–2.833 (2) Å] belonging to three morpholine-4-dithiocarboxylate ligands. The resulting SbS6 coordination polyhedron approximates to a pentagonal pyramid with atoms Sb1 and S2—S6 at the base of the pyramid and S1 in the apical position. Three of the five equatorial Sb—S bonds are long (to S2, S3 and S5), two are short (to S4 and S6), while the apical donor atom forms the strongest bond [Sb1—S1=2.474 (2)]. The SbIII lone pair of electrons may project in a direction roughly trans to the Sb1—S1 bond. The short intermolecular distance Sb1···S3i of 3.411 (2) Å suggests a presence of Sb···S interactions (sSymmetry code as in Fig. 2), which lead to the dimeric associations in the crystal (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound were prepared by reaction of antimony tribromide (36.1 mg, 0.1 mmol) with the corresponding sodium dithiocarbamate (36.3 mg, 0.3 mmol), in absolute acetone. After stirring for 5 h at room temperature, the yellow paste was obtained and then filtered. Yellow crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of methanol/dichloromethane (1:2 v/v) solution over a period of two weeks (yield 90%. m.p. 435 Kk).

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene H atoms, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for C-bound H atoms.
