Decomposition of [2-Pyr(SiMe3)(2)C](2)SbCl into the stibaalkene [2-Pyr(SiMe3)(2)C-Sb=C(SiMe3)2-Pyr]: Solid, solution, and a initio study

The disubstituted antimony chloride complex [2-Pyr(SiMe3)2C]2SbCl (Pyr = C5H4N), formed from the 2:1 reaction of [2-Pyr(SiMe3)2CLi·tmeda] with SbCl3, readily decomposes into the stibaalkene species [2-Pyr(SiMe3)2CSb=C(SiMe3)2-Pyr] via β-elimination of Me3SiCl. The stibaalkene species is an intensely...
