Antimony(III) acetate
Antimony acetate is the compound of antimony with the chemical formula of Sb3. It is a white powder, is moderately water-soluble, and is used as a catalyst in the production of polyesters.Preparation
It can be prepared by the reaction of antimony oxide with acetic acid:Structure
The crystal structure of antimony acetate has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It consists of discrete Sb3 monomers with monodentate acetate ligands. The monomers are linked together into chains by weaker C=O···Sb intermolecular interactions.
