Abstract :
Several alkali metal hydroxoantimonates, K2[Sb(O)(OH)5], Na[Sb(OH)6], Cs[Sb(OH)6] and Cs2[Sb2(μ-O)2(OH)8] were isolated from aqueous solutions and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies and by FTIR and thermal analysis. Crystal structures involving [Sb(O)(OH)5]2− were never anticipated before, and this is also the first disclosure of a dinuclear antimonate [Sb2(μ-O)2(OH)8]2−. Aqueous antimonate solutions of different pH were studied by high resolution electrospray mass spectrometry showing pH indifferent spectra and predominance of the mono and dinuclear antimonate species at pH 4–10.
