Arsenic (III) and Antimony (V) Complexes of Trifluoro-β-diketones

Abstract

Arsenic (III) and antimony(V) complexes of trifluoro-β-diketones of the type, AsCl_3–n(CF₃COCHCOMe)_n and SbCl₄(CF₃COCHOR) respectively (where R = Me, Et, i–Pr, i–Bu or t–Bu; N= 1–3) have been synthesized and studied. These have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight and molar conductance measurements, IR and NMR spectral analyses.
