Abstract

Methyl and methylene compounds of arsenic and antimony have been studied by photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy to investigate their relative stability. While for As both HAs=CH <subscript>2</subscript> , As-CH <subscript>3</subscript> and the methylene compound As=CH <subscript>2</subscript> are identified in the spectrum, the only Sb compound observed is Sb-CH <subscript>3</subscript> . Thus, there is a step in the main group 15 between As and Sb, regarding the relative stability of the methyl compounds. Ionisation energies, vibrational frequencies and spin-orbit splittings were determined for the methyl compound from photoion mass-selected photoelectron spectra. Although the spectroscopic results for organoantimony resemble those for the previously investigated bismuth compounds, EPR spectroscopic experiments indicate a far lower tendency for methyl transfer for Sb(CH <subscript>3</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> compared to Bi(CH <subscript>3</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> . This study concludes investigations on low-valent organopnictogen compounds.<br /> (© 2023 The Authors. Chemistry - A European Journal published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.)
