title: Chloridobis{2-[(dimethyl-amino)-meth-yl]phen-yl}anti-mony(III).
abstract: In the title compound, [Sb(C(9)H(12)N)(2)Cl], the Sb atom adopts a Ψ-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The two 2-[(dimethyl-amino)-methyl]-phenyl ligands are coordinated asymmetrically to the Sb atom. The carbon atoms of one of the ligands are disordered over sets of sites with equal occupancy, resulting in two conformational isomers in the crystal. The Sb-C and Sb-N distances in the ordered ligand are: 2.153 (4) and 3.326 (5) Å, respectively. The corresponding distances in the disordered ligand are: 2.103 (5)/2.188 (5) and 2.454 (3) Å, respectively. The structure displays intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding.
