Antimony halide sulfides

In the reaction of trimethylstibine sulfide with acid halide, trimethyl-antimony halide thiocarboxylates (XIII), corresponding to compound XII in Eq. (1) were isolated 27) ... 

Both antimony tribromide and antimony triiodide are prepared by reaction of the elements. Their chemistry is similar to that of SbQ3 in that they readily hydrolyze, form complex halide ions, and form a wide variety of adducts with ethers, aldehydes, mercaptans, etc. They are soluble in carbon disulfide, acetone, and chloroform. There has been considerable interest in the compounds antimony bromide sulfide [14794-85-5], antimony iodide sulfide [13868-38-1], ISSb, and antimony iodide selenide [15513-79-8] with respect to their solid-state properties, ferroelectricity, pyroelectricity, photoconduction, and dielectric polarization. 

EXPLOSION and FIRE CONCERNS moderate fire and explosion hazard in forms of dust and vapor when heated or on contact with acid, emits toxic fumes of SbH3 electrolysis of acid sulfides and antimony halides yields explosive antimony reacts violently with ammonium nitrate, halogens, bromine azide, chloric acid, chlorine oxide, chlorine trifluoride, nitric acid, potassium nitrate, potassium permanganate, potassium peroxide, sodium nitrate, and oxidants use appropriate extinguishing media for firefighting purposes. 

The compounds have been prepared by annealing stoichiometric amounts of the elements or the respective antimony(III) or bismuth(III) sulfide and halides in sealed silica ampuls.11 12 Good crystals are obtained by using a surplus of M2X3.12 The conditions for the preparation of these thiohalides are given in Table VI. 

Aside from these three classes (species with unfilled inner subshells, with unpaired electrons, or with two different oxidation states of the same element), there are a number of colored inorganic substances about which generalizations may be set up only with difficulty. Among these are many of the elementary nonmetals, a large number of covalent salts (such as mercuric iodide, cadmium sulfide, silver phosphate and lithium nitride), a number of nonmetal halides (iodine monochloride, selenium tetrachloride, antimony tri-iodide, etc.), and the colored ions, chromate, permanganate, and Ce(H20) v, whose central atoms presumably have rare-gas structures.
