The novel ₃-Sb₂S₄ ligand in (C₅Me₅)₃Rh₃
Sb₂S₅ contains a stable terminal Sb=S double bond. The electron density gradient and bond critical points obtained by DFT calculations for the model compound H₂Sb(SH)=S are shown in the background. The title compound has been obtained from Sb₂S₃ (antimonite), K, and S₈ via K₃SbS₃ and (C₅Me₅)₂Rh₂Cl₄. See A. Lange, M. M. Kubicki, J. Wachter, and M. Zabel, p 7328.
