Synthesis and Characterization of Some Dicarboxylato and Salicylato Derivatives of Antimony Triochloride Adducts

Abstract

Dicarboxylato and salicylato chelates of some antimony

trichloride adducts have been prepared. The antimony trichloride

adducts used were with anthracene, aniline, benzamide, pyridine,

thiourea and DMSO. The disodium salts of oxalic, succinic, adipic,

tartaric, salicylic and phthalic acids were used. The physical characteristics

and IR, UV spectra of the complexes are reported. The

nature of the metal-carboxyl group linkage is discussed.
