The antimony-iron sulfide system in general does not produce alloys below 540 °C from traditional solid-state methods. However, single source precursors have been known to unexpected products that arise kinetically trapped polymorphs. In this paper, we test the efficacy of approach toward Fe-Sb-S system. Antimony and iron diethyldithiocarbamate complexes form Sb[S2CN(Et2)]3 (1) Fe[S2CN(Et2)]3 (...

A lthough cosmetics, from Greek kósmesis (adorn), now refers to external products used to beautify the skin, hair, eye, or other parts of the body, cosmesis was not the first objective of primitive eye painting. The first aim of body painting in primitive cultures may have been to protect people from evil spirits, which could enter their body through vulnerable openings, such as the eyes. The s...

Abstract Thermal decomposition of tris(O-ethyldithiocarbonato)-antimony(III) ( 1 ), a precursor for Sb 2 S 3 thin films synthesized from an acidified aqueous solution SbCl and KS COCH CH , was monitored by simultaneous thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis evolved gas via mass spectroscopy (TG/DTA-EGA-MS) measurements in dynamic Ar, synthetic air atmospheres. identified Fourier transf...

Crystalline antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°C for 24h.Using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare Sb2S3 is reported for first time. Crystal growth of Sb2S3 was done by increasing reaction t...
