Description

Antimony(III) chloride is an inorganic chemical compound that is used as a catalyst in wastewater treatment. It is a solid at room temperature and soluble in water. This compound has been shown to have genotoxic effects, which are changes to the genetic material that can lead to cancer. Antimony(III) chloride has also been shown to have oxidative properties when it reacts with sodium carbonate, an acid, or nitrogen atoms. The reaction mechanism of this compound includes the formation of an antimony-carbonate intermediate that decomposes into carbon dioxide and antimony oxides. This process leads to the formation of sodium salts. The oxidation catalyst can be sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which are strong bases. X-ray diffraction data show that antimony(III) chloride has a trigonal bipyramidal structure with bond angles of 120° and 180° between atoms.
