Antimony complex compounds

SoHd lubricants ate added to help control high friction characteristics in high speed or heavy-duty appHcations where high temperatures are generated. Molybdenum disulfide [1317-33-5] M0S2, may be used alone or in a complex compound formed by grinding with fine natural graphite, and zinc sulfide [1314-98-3] ZnS. Other compounds include calcium fluoride, cryoHte [15096-52-3] Na AlF, rare-earth oxides, and metal sulfides, eg, iron, antimony, or zinc (see LUBRICATION AND LUBRICANTS). 

It is otherwise with cotton, which is almost chemically pure cellulose, and hence is chemically indifferent in a tinctorial sense. Here combination with the dye results from the use of mordants which are adsorbed colloidally on the fibre before dyeing. The mordant can then enter into chemical union with the dye as a complex compound. For an important group of acid dyes (p. 335) the mordants are chiefly metallic hydroxides, namely, those of chromium, aluminium, iron, antimony, tin, etc., whilst for basic dyes tannin is the usual mordant. 

Nitrogen does not react with arsenic. The latter dissolves in aqueous ammonia, apparently forming a complex compound.4 In anhydrous liquid ammonia it dissolves without reaction 5 and from the solution the arsenic may be successfully electrodeposited.6 This is not the case with antimony or bismuth. The solution of arsenic in liquid ammonia does not react with metallic cyanides.7... 

The synthesis of clathrochelates resulting from capping with antimony(V) compounds was realized for the first time as described in Ref. 74. With antimony(V) halogenides, only polymeric complexes were isolated, but antimony(V) triorganyles, unlike tin(IV) triorganyles, readily form nioximate iron(II) clathrochelates by Reaction 19. 

The first part of this section deals with complex compounds with arsenic, antimony or bismuth acting as central atoms. They have been ordered according to the coordination number of the element and, within these sections, according to the donor properties of the ligands and to an ionic or covalent type of the complex. In the second part we report on organoelement compounds coordinated to transition metals or main group elements. 

Bismuth trichloride forms a 1 1 Menshutkin-like complex with mesitylene " and a 2 1 complex with hexamethylbenzene , in which the arene is bonded to bismuth at distances to the ring centre of ca 3.1 A. As with the related antimony complexes, there are also a number of intermolecular chlorine bridges, raising the bismuth coordination number and leading to either sheets or tetrameric bismuth chloride networks. These compounds differ from the antimony halide analogues where the arene is usually acentrically bonded. 

Antimony has a great affinity for charged sulfur ligands which include thiolates, xanthates (R0CS2 ), dithiocarbamates (R2NCS2 ), and dithiophosphates ((RO)2PS2 ). In contrast to arsenic, where this chemistry is limited to oxidation state III, antimony forms compounds in oxidation states III and V. The xanthate, dithiocarbamate, and dithiophosphate complexes are mostly made by reaction of antimony(III) halides or organohalides with Na, NH4, or Ag salts of the acids. Complexes... 

Other oxyhalides, mostly oxychlorides and oxybromides, result from the controlled hydrolysis of the trihalides, and are of interest for two main reasons. First, they are quite unrelated to the oxyhalides of bismuth. Although both antimony and bismuth form compounds MOX the structures of the antimony compounds are quite different from those of the compounds BiOX, which have been described on p. 408. The more complex oxyhalides of Sb have no analogues among Bi compounds. Second, a feature of the published structures of the antimony oxyhalides is the coordination of Sb by either three or four O atoms. It should perhaps be remarked here that the investigation of the structures of these complex compounds is difficult, and the precise positions of the O atoms are by no means certain. However, it appears that a feature of these compounds is the formation of extended Sb—O systems, generally layers, interleaved with halogen... 

The fastness of basic dyes can be improved by after-treatment with tannic acid, in order to convert the dyestuff into its comparatively insoluble tannic acid salt. The wet-fastness is further improved by the action of an antimony salt which forms an even more insoluble dye-tannic acid-antimony complex. The most convenient antimony compound to use is tartar emetic , w hich is a popular name for potassium antimony tartrate, 2(K(Sb0).C4H40g).H20. The treatment is carried out in the following manner the dyed goods are worked in a bath containing 1 per cent of... 

Tungsten resembles molybdenum in showing a remarkable ability to form complex compounds. One molecule of an alkali oxide may be combined with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 molecules of WO3 while more complex molecules may contain as much as 5Mr20 condensed with varying amounts of WOa. There are also formed many series of complex tungstates in which W03 combines with varying proportions of the oxides of silicon, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, vanadium, and boron,... 

Werner s studies led to a general realization that the typical properties of metal ions could be modified by binding them firmly to appropriate chelating agents, and it was a short step to extend these ideas to the biological properties of toxic metal ions. An early application of this in medicine was the use of the J-tartrate complex of antimony(III) in the treatment of parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis 2. The parasite which causes this disease is readily poisoned by antimony(III) compounds, but for simple antimony compounds the margin of safety is too small and humans suffer from cardiotoxicity when such compounds are administered. The J-tartrate complex allows this to be somewhat more readily controlled and allows the more... 

After firing, the powder is washed in water typically with a small amount of complexing agent such as ethylenediarninetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium EDTA, or a weak acid such as citric acid to remove the excess chloride, volatile antimony oxychlorides which have recondensed on the phosphor during cooling, and manganese compounds which are not incorporated in the halophosphate lattice. The powder is then ready for suspension. 

Metals less noble than copper, such as iron, nickel, and lead, dissolve from the anode. The lead precipitates as lead sulfate in the slimes. Other impurities such as arsenic, antimony, and bismuth remain partiy as insoluble compounds in the slimes and partiy as soluble complexes in the electrolyte. Precious metals, such as gold and silver, remain as metals in the anode slimes. The bulk of the slimes consist of particles of copper falling from the anode, and insoluble sulfides, selenides, or teUurides. These slimes are processed further for the recovery of the various constituents. Metals less noble than copper do not deposit but accumulate in solution. This requires periodic purification of the electrolyte to remove nickel sulfate, arsenic, and other impurities. 

Rubidium metal alloys with the other alkaU metals, the alkaline-earth metals, antimony, bismuth, gold, and mercury. Rubidium forms double haUde salts with antimony, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, thorium, and 2iac. These complexes are generally water iasoluble and not hygroscopic. The soluble mbidium compounds are acetate, bromide, carbonate, chloride, chromate, fluoride, formate, hydroxide, iodide. 

Nitric acid oxidizes antimony forming a gelantinous precipitate of a hydrated antimony pentoxide (8). With sulfuric acid an indefinite compound of low solubihty, probably an oxysulfate, is formed. Hydrofluoric acid forms fluorides or fluocomplexes with many insoluble antimony compounds. Hydrochloric acid in the absence of air does not readily react with antimony. Antimony also forms complex ions with organic acids.
