Compounds with gold-antimony bonds

Antidotal activity of British anti-lewisite against compounds of antimony, gold and mercury.

Complexation effect of antimony compounds with citric acid and its application to the speciation of antimony(III) and antimony(V) using HPLC-ICP-MS

In this work, a complexation effect of Sb compounds with citric acid was observed using electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS). It was found that both Sb(III) and Sb(V) could form complexes readily with citric acid in an aqueous solution at room temperature. These complexes were found to be very stable in various matrices (moat water and aqueous extracts of airborne particulate matter), therefo...

High-pressure spectral studies of mixed valence compounds of antimony.

In Cs(2)SbCl(6) and related compounds antimony appears as Sb(III) and Sb(V) in alternate halide octahedra. The optical spectrum contains "mixed valence" peaks assigned to Sb(III) --> Sb(V) transfer near 18 and 27 kK (cm(-1)). In addition there is a peak near 31 kK assigned to an internal transition on Sb(III) and one near 37 kK assigned to Sb(V), mixed with the absorption edge of the crystal. T...

Varicella zoster virus reactivation during or immediately following treatment of tegumentary leishmaniasis with antimony compounds

Antimony compounds are the cornerstone treatments for tegumentary leishmaniasis. The reactivation of herpes virus is a side effect described in few reports. We conducted an observational study to describe the incidence of herpes zoster reactivation during treatment with antimony compounds. The global incidence of herpes zoster is approximately 2.5 cases per 1,000 persons per month (or 30 cases ...

Treatment of So-called Palindromic Rheumatism with Gold Compounds.

A relatively rare form of arthritis was described by Hench and Rosenberg in 1941 and in 1944. The syndrome is characterized by frequently recurring attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and disability involving usually one joint at a time, but sometimes multiple joints. The attacks last for short periods and then subside completely without leaving -joint residue. They considered it to be a " new ...
