A planar Cu 2 Sb 2 framework characterizes the structure of the title complex 1 , which is moderately stable in the crystalline form in the absence of light and air, but rapidly decomposes in solution. The Cu 1 antimonide was prepared by lithiation of Mes 2 SbH with nBuLi followed by reaction with CuCI and Me 3 P in THF. Mes 2 SbH, the structure of which was also determined, is obtained from Mes 3 Sb by reduction with lithium powder and protonation with Me 3 NHCl.
