Stibole
Sign in to saveStibole is a heterocyclic organic compound, a five-membered ring with the formula C4H4SbH. It is classified as a metallole. It can be viewed as a structural analog of pyrrole, with antimony replacing the nitrogen atom of pyrrole. Stibole itself has not been isolated, but many substituted derivatives have been synthesized. They are called stiboles.

==Preparation== Pentaphenylstibile is prepared from 1,4-dilithio-1,2,3,4-tetraphenylbutadiene and phenylantimony dichloride by a salt metathesis reaction: (Ph = C6H5) Even simpler than the above, 1-phenylstibole can be prepared analgously from 1,4-dilithiobutadiene. It is yellow oil that resinifies at room temperature.
