Synthesis and characterization of arsenate antimonic acid AAAc(1 : 1)

The AAAc(1 : 1) was synthesized in water by As2O3 and Sb2O3 with molar ratio of 1 : 1: AAAc(1 : 1)was characterized by Raman, IR, TG/DTG, DSC, XPS and XRD. The results show that there are four peaks to vsof As-OH, As-O-Sb, Sb-OH and Sb-O-Sb in Raman spectra of AAAc(1 : 1) at 100 - 1 000 cm-1. The solution of AAAc(1 : 1) was also titrated with KOH solution. The titration results show that AAAc(1 : 1) is a hexabasic acid with dissociation constants of k1 = 3.62 × 10-2 , k2 = 3.05 × 10-3 , k3 = 6. 43 × 10-6 , k4 = 9. 78 × 10-8 ,k5 = 1.32 × 10-11 , k6 =3.87 × 10-12. AAAc(1 : 1) has a good solubility and stability in water, its solid obtained by free volatilizing water from its solution under air at ambient temperature is amorphous.
