Antimony electronic structure

It is diagnostic of electronic/chemical state, is sensitive to point defects, and can be used to probe the distribution of promoters in catalytic oxides (67). Examples include effects of the distribution of antimony in Sb-Sn02 catalysts (used for selective hydrocarbon oxidation) on the electronic structure of the catalyst and mapping of point defects in titania catalysts.

Radical cations can be derived from aromatic hydrocarbons or alkenes by one-electron oxidation. Antimony trichloride and pentachloride are among the chemical oxidants that have been used. Photodissociation or y-radiation can generate radical cations from aromatic hydrocarbons. Most radical cations derived from hydrocarbons have limited stability, but EPR spectral parameters have permitted structural characterization. The radical cations can be generated electrochemically, and some oxidation potentials are included in Table 12.1. The potentials correlate with the HOMO levels of the hydrocarbons. The higher the HOMO, the more easily oxidized is the hydrocarbon. 

Seebeck used antimony and copper wires and found the current to be affected by the measuring instrument (ammeter). But, he also found that the voltage generated (EMF) was directly proportional to the difference in temperature of the two junctions. Peltier, in 1834, then demonstrated that if a current was induced in the circuit of 7.1.3., it generated heat at the junctions. In other words, the SEEBECK EFFECT was found to be reversible. Further work led to the development of the thermocouple, which today remains the primary method for measurement of temperature. Nowadays, we know that the SEEBECK EFFECT arises because of a difference in the electronic band structure of the two metals at the junction. This is illustrated as follows ... 

Semimetals bismuth (Bi) and antimony (Sb) have been model systems for coherent phonon studies. They both have an A7 crystalline structure and sustain two Raman active optical phonon modes of A g and Eg symmetries (Fig. 2.4). Their pump-induced reflectivity change, shown in Fig. 2.7, consists of oscillatory (ARosc) and non-oscillatory (ARnonosc) components. ARosc is dominated by the coherent nuclear motion of the A g and Eg symmetries, while Af nonosc is attributed to the modification in the electronic and the lattice temperatures.
