From SbCl3, SbBr3 or SbI3 and an equivalent portion of the beta-dialdiminatopotassium compound K[{N(C6H3Pr2i-2,6) C(H)}(2)CPh] [ K(L)] in Et2O there was obtained in good yield the crystalline yellow [SbCl2(L)]center dot(0.5thf)center dot(0.5Et(2)O) (1) and the bis(bromo) analogue 2, or the orange [{SbI(L)(mu-I)}(2)]center dot(0.5Et(2)O) (3). Each of 1-3 was treated with the appropriate dihalogen (X-2) in Et2O. Thus, whereas 1 or 2 furnished the corresponding beta-dialdiminium hexahalogenoantimoniate [Et2O center dot center dot center dot H(L) H center dot center dot center dot OEt2][SbX6] (4, X = Cl; 6, X = Br), the iodo compound 3 afforded the known pyrazolium salt [N(C(6)H(3)Pr(i)2-2,6) C(H) C(Ph) C(H) N(C(6)H(3)Pr(i)2-2,6)][I-5]. It is suggested that the source of the additional 2HX, required to convert 1 or 2 with X2 in Et2O into 4 or 6, was derived from halogenation of the N-aryl groups of L. The formation of 4 or 6 was achieved by the alternative synthesis from equivalent portions of [H-2(L)] X, SbX3 and X-2 in diethyl ether. The X-ray structures of the isomorphous compounds 1 and 2 and 4 and 6, as well as of 3, are reported.
