U+1F725 Alchemical Symbol for Copper Antimoniate

Die Wikipedia hat die folgende Information zu diesem Codepunkt:

In chemistry an antimonate is a compound which contains a metallic element, oxygen, and antimony in an oxidation state of +5. These compounds adopt polymeric structures with M-O-Sb linkages. They can be considered to be derivatives of the hypothetical antimonic acid H₃SbO₄, or combinations of metal oxides and antimony pentoxide, Sb₂O₅.

Historically these compounds were assumed to be analogous to the phosphates and formulas such as LiSbO₃·3H₂O and Na₂H₂Sb₂O₇·5H₂O were used and the compounds described as hydrated meta-antimonates and pyro-antimonates. LiSbO₃·3H₂O is now known to be LiSb(OH)₆ and contain the Sb(OH)⁻
₆ anion and that Na₂H₂Sb₂O₇·5H₂O is actually NaSb(OH)₆.

Some examples of antimonates and their structures are shown below:

• Li₃SbO₄ has a NaCl superstructure with isolated Sb
  ₄O¹²⁻
  ₁₆ units.
• Sodium antimonate, NaSbO₃, has the ilmenite structure, with hexagonal close packed oxide ions with each ion, Na⁺ and Sb⁵⁺ occupying a third of the octahedral sites.
• MgSb₂O₆ has the trirutile structure, which is similar to the rutile structure except that there are two different cations in the lattice.
• AlSbO₄ has the rutile structure with random occupancy.
• Lead antimonate, Pb₂Sb₂O₇, Naples yellow, has the pyrochlore structure.
• Calcium antimonate, Ca₂Sb₂O₇, has the weberite structure.
• Ferric ortho-antimonate, Fe₂O₃·Sb₂O₅ or FeSbO₄, has the rutile structure with random occupancy.
