Molecular structure and photocatalytic properties of the pentaphenylantimony-3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid reaction product

摘要

Reaction between pentaphenylantimony and 3,5-dinitro-salicylic acid involves both hydroxy and carboxy groups to form the complex containing an anion with the six-membered metallocycle and Ph4Sb+ counter-cation. The molecular structure of the reaction product has been established by X-ray analysis. The photocatalytic properties have been studied by the methylene blue photodegradation.
