Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02494423

The reaction of silver nitrate with Ph₃SbBr₂ in an ethanol-acetone solution afforded the complex [Ph₃Sb(NO₃)]₂O · Me₂C=O (1). According to the data of X-ray diffraction study of crystals of 1, molecule 1 contains a nonlinear O-bridge, which links two Sb atoms. The Sb atoms have a trigonal-bipyramidal configuration. The NO₃ group and the bridging oxygen atom are in axial positions and the three Ph substituents are in equatorial positions.
