Antimony trisulfide (Template:Chem2) is found in nature as the crystalline mineral stibnite and the amorphous red mineral (actually a mineraloid)[2] metastibnite.[3] It is manufactured for use in safety matches, military ammunition, explosives and fireworks. It is also used as a friction material in brake linings. It is a critical primer material for military applications and tracer bullets.[4] It also is used in the production of ruby-colored glass and in plastics as a flame retardant.[5] Historically the stibnite form was used as a grey pigment in paintings produced in the 16th century.[6] In 1817, the dye and fabric chemist, John Mercer discovered the non-stoichiometric compound Antimony Orange (approximate formula Template:Chem2), the first good orange pigment available for cotton fabric printing.[7]
Antimony trisulfide was also used as the image sensitive photoconductor in vidicon camera tubes. It is a semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.8–2.5 eV.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". With suitable doping, p and n type materials can be produced.[8]
Preparation and reactions
Template:Chem2 can be prepared from the elements at temperature 500–900 °C:[5]
Template:Chem2 is precipitated when [[hydrogen sulfide|Template:Chem2]] is passed through an acidified solution of Sb(III).[9] This reaction has been used as a gravimetric method for determining antimony, bubbling Template:Chem2 through a solution of Sb(III) compound in hot HCl deposits an orange form of Template:Chem2 which turns black under the reaction conditions.[10]
Template:Chem2 is readily oxidised, reacting vigorously with oxidising agents.[5] It burns in air with a blue flame. It reacts with incandescence with cadmium, magnesium and zinc chlorates. Mixtures of Template:Chem2 and chlorates may explode.[11]
In the extraction of antimony from antimony ores the alkaline sulfide process is employed where Template:Chem2 reacts to form thioantimonate(III) salts (also called thioantimonite):[12]
A number of salts containing different thioantimonate(III) ions can be prepared from Template:Chem2. These include:[13]
Schlippe's salt, Template:Chem2, a thioantimonate(V) salt is formed when Template:Chem2 is boiled with sulfur and sodium hydroxide. The reaction can be represented as:[9]
Structure
The structure of the black needle-like form of Template:Chem2, stibnite, consists of linked ribbons in which antimony atoms are in two different coordination environments, trigonal pyramidal and square pyramidal.[9] Similar ribbons occur in Template:Chem2 and Template:Chem2.[14] The red form, metastibnite, is amorphous. Recent work suggests that there are a number of closely related temperature dependent structures of stibnite which have been termed stibnite (I) the high temperature form, identified previously, stibnite (II) and stibnite (III).[15] Other paper shows that the actual coordination polyhedra of antimony are in fact Template:Chem2, with (3+4) coordination at the M1 site and (5+2) at the M2 site.Template:Cln These coordinations consider the presence of secondary bonds. Some of the secondary bonds impart cohesion and are connected with packing.[16]
