Bis(4-aminobenzoato-κO)triphenylantimony(V)

The structure of the title compound, [Sb(C6H5)3(C7H6NO2)2], contains two independent molecules of similar configuration. The Sb atoms exhibit a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry with the O atoms of two carboxylate groups in the axial positions and the C atoms of the phenyl groups in the equatorial positions. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions forming a chain structure along [100].
