Synthesis, characterization and structure of some arylantimony ferrocenylacrylates

A series of arylantimony ferrocenylacrylates with the formula (C5H5FeC5H4CHCHCO2)nSbAr(5−n) (n=1, 2; Ar C6H5, 4-CH3C6H4, 3-CH3C6H4, 2-CH3C6H4, 4-FC6H4) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectra. The crystal structures of C5H5FeC5H4CHCHCO2Sb(C6H5)4 (I1) and (C5H5FeC5H4CHCHCO2)2Sb(C6H5)3 (II1) have been determined by X-ray diffraction.
