noticeably changes the geometric parameters of com-
plex II (Table 3) compared to the same characteristics
of tetraphenylstibium acetate (IV). For example, the
Sb–O bond (2.291 Å) in complex II is much longer than
that in compound IV (2.234 Å). The Sb···O=C distance
in compound I is 3.307 Å, whereas this distance in IV
is 2.594 Å. On the contrary, the axial and equatorial
Sb−C bonds (2.166 Å and 2.105, 2.118, and 2.119 Å) in
compound II are much shorter than those in IV (2.179 Å
and 2.136, 2.138, and 2.143 Å). The coordination poly-
hedron of the antimony atom in compound II is less
distorted (the CSbO axial angle is 176.47°; the CSbC
equatorial angles are 115.79°, 116.17°, and 124.07°)
than that in compound IV (the corresponding angles are
170.04°, 102.15°, 102.92°, and 152.62°) because the
strong intramolecular Sb···O=C interaction is absent.

In adduct II, the C–O distance in the acetate frag-
ment is 1.279 Å and coincides with that in IV. The ë=é
bond in the carbonyl group in II (1.232 Å) is shorter
than that in IV (1.266 Å), which correlates with a less
stable Sb···O=C contact. The C(3)–O(3) and C(3)–O(4)
distances in an acetic acid molecule are 1.313 and 1.181 Å,
respectively.

In tetraphenylstibium carboxylates Ph4SbOC(O)R,
the distance between the antimony atom and carbonyl
oxygen atom (which are not formally linked to each
other) was found to be 2.594–3.509 Å [9–21] (the sum
of the van der Waals radii of the antimony and oxygen
atoms is 3.70 Å [22]), and in IV this value is minimum
(2.594 Å) [9]. The strength of the Sb···O=C intramolec-
ular contact, associated with the donor-acceptor inter-
action, is obviously due to many factors, for instance,
the electron-donating ability of the oxygen atom of the
carbonyl group. This ability, in turn, is caused by the
nature of the organic radical R. A considerable weaken-
ing of the Sb···O=C contact in II compared to that in IV
indicates that intermolecular interactions involving the
carbonyl oxygen atom play an important role in the for-
mation of compound IV.

Thus, the appearance of an additional acid molecule
in the Ph4Sbï · çï adduct (X = NO3 or OC(O)CH3)
affects the geometric parameters of the X fragments
and also substantially changes the coordination polyhe-
dron of the antimony atom.
