Abstract
Abstract The Pd(O) induced coupling of phenyl groups in triphenylantimony to afford diphenyl and Sb(O) has been studied in a search for possible intermediates. Two complexes containing antimony and palladium have been isolated. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is made up of triphenylantimony coordinated to palladium diacetate. It affords diphenyl nearly quantitatively on pyrolysis. Complex 2 contains a phenyl-palladium σ-bond as well as two coordinated triphenylantimony residues.
