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...

For chlorination in the liquid phase, chlorine gas is led into the liquid and is dispersed in the form of fine bubbles. In most chlorina-tions heat and a catalyst are employed. Phosphorus and its halides, sulfur and its halides, iron, aluminum chloride, antimony chloride, and iodine are among the common catalysts used for chlorinations. For laboratory use red phosphorus, iron, and thionyl chloride give good results. Aluminum chloride (or aluminum-mercury couple), although a very efficient catalyst, clogs the disperser. The use of actinic light is sometimes used to promote chlorination in the liquid phase, and is extensively used in the vapor phase. The action of the catalysts is assumed to activate a few chlorine molecules which initiate chain reactions. For example, in the chlorination of benzene the reaction begins with the dissociation of a few molecules of chlorine to atoms ...
