The crystal structure of the title compound was solved by means of X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The salt consists of a tetrahedral tetraphenylborate anion and a complex cation containing a catecholatoantimony(III) unit chelated by two 1,10-phenanthrolines. The three bidentate ligands are essentially arranged in one half of the Sb coordination sphere, leaving ample space to accomodate the lone pair of electrons. The Mossbauer parameters of the title compound and of the complex (C6H4O2)SbF·Phen were measured and their rationalization accomplished in the light of their respective molecular structures.
