Antimony and Antimonides

Antimony and Antimonides.—There appears to be little correlation between the formal oxidation state of antimony and the 3d(3/2,5/2 binding energies from recent X-ray p.e. spectral data, but within a given series the binding energy appears to be a function of the electronegativity of the ligand. 

Sharpening of 121Sb Mossbauer spectra can be achieved in some cases by Fourier-transform methods, and this approach has been tested on data for CoSb3 and Fe0.5Ni0.sSb3.705
