Like the related molecules triphenylphosphine and triphenylarsine, SbPh3 is pyramidal with a propeller-like arrangement of the phenyl groups. The Sb-C distances average 2.14-2.17 Å and the C-Sb-C angle are 95°.[2]

SbPh3 was first reported in 1886, being prepared from antimony trichloride by the reaction:[3]

6 Na + 3 C6H5Cl + SbCl3 → (C6H5)3Sb + 6 NaCl

An alternative method treats phenylmagnesium bromide with SbCl3.[4]
