Reversing Lewis acidity from bismuth to antimony
Investigations on the boundaries between the neutral and cationic models of (Mesityl) 2 EX (E = Sb, Bi and X = Cl − , OTf − ) have facilitated reversing the Lewis acidity from bismuth to antimony. We use this concept to demonstrate a higher efficiency of (Mesityl) 2 SbOTf over (Mesityl) 2 BiOTf in t...
