A radical formed by x-irradiation of a single crystal of triphenylantimony is identified as Ph2Ṡb. Its ESR spectral parameters (for 121Sb) g1=1.9804, g2=2.1044, g3=1.9959, Tx=1270 MHz, Ty=−752 MHz, Tz=−699 MHz corrected for nuclear spin–orbit interactions and decomposed into isotropic (−60.3 MHz) and anisotropic (1330.3, −691.7, −638.7 MHz) components, and the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants e2Qqx=−101 MHz, e2Qqy=−205 MHz, e2Qqz=306 MHz, have been interpreted in terms of the radicals’s electronic structure and indicate that, like the analogous Ph2Ṗ and Ph2Ȧs radicals, the unpaired electron is localized on the 5pπ valence orbital of the antimony atom and that the radical is strongly bent, ∠CSbC≃98°.
