Antimony(V) chloride

Ref. 3D-FA44416

Product Information

• Name: Antimony(V) chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Antimony(V) chloride is a molecule that belongs to the class of organometallic compounds. It is an acylation product of antimony pentachloride and an acid chloride. Antimony(V) chloride has been shown to produce a frequency shift in the infrared spectrum, which is attributed to its electron donating ability. The mechanism of this reaction is not well understood, but it has been postulated that it involves a transfer mechanism between SbCl5 and HCl. The reaction products are minimal toxicity due to the minimal reactivity of antimony(V) chloride with water molecules. Antimony (V) chloride can be used as a catalyst for some organic reactions due to its coordination chemistry properties and halogenated carbonyl groups.
