title: Synthesis of a stibindolyl anion from trimesitylantimony and potassium.
abstract: 2-(3',5'-Dimethylphenyl)-5,7-dimethylstibindolyl potassium-pmdeta (1) (pmdeta = pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) is obtained from trimesitylantimony, potassium and the amine ligand in tetrahydrofuran; crystals of 1 consist of stacks of (pmdeta)K+ ions and stibindolyl anions with alternating Sb-K and eta5-SbC4-K interactions.
