So, the ethylene- diaminetetraacetic acid (H 4 edta) as ligand is a good choice for building a diversified structure; it is not only a plurality of coordination sites but also an inexpensive and relative safe substance, which can remove toxic heavy metals, reduce oxidative stress, and increase waste excretion [12, 13]. In clinical practice, the chelation therapy with H 4 edta can prevent cancer and catalytic reactive oxygen species, such as cardiovascular and arteriosclerotic heart disease [1416]. So, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical and biological aspects. As we know, the main group elements do not easily form complexes with organic ligands because of the special prop- erties. But, owing to the presence of a lone pair of electrons, showing stereochemical behavior, the antimony complexes with aminopolycarboxylate ligands have attracted people’s interests [17]. Because the inorganic salts of antimony(III) have considerable toxicity, so the new biological activity and medicinal function complexes of the main group element antimony are received more attention [18, 19]. Besides, some antimony(III) compounds have been used as antiparasitic agents, and exhibit significant functions as biocides, fungi- cides, antioxidants, and potential therapeutic agents. For example, some antimony compounds are used for treatment of leishmaniasis, various species of the protozoan leishmania virus and cancer [2025].

longer than C3(9)ndashO2(7) about 008 A which is comparablewith the value of a free carboxylic acid and this type ofcoordination seems to cause the especially strong acidityof Sb-(Hedta) The bond angles of N1ndashSb1ndashO3 N1ndashSb1ndashO5N1ndashSb1ndashN2 and N1ndashSb1ndashO1 are almost similar if the Sb1ndashN1 is perpendicular to the equator plane they look like aninverted umbrella and the SbndashN bond lengths are 2336(5) Aand 2402(5) A and the SbndashO band lengths are Sb1ndashO1 =2182(4) A Sb1ndashO3 = 2243(4) A and Sb1ndashO5 = 2199(4) Arespectively

In Tables 2 and 3 there are three types of hydrogenbonds in the crystal of the Sb(III) complex and theyinclude the weak hydrogen bonds between the crystallinewater molecules (O10ndashH10E sdot sdot sdotO9 2950 A) the crystallinewater and the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl groups (O9ndashH9C sdot sdot sdotO4 2702 A O9ndashH9D sdot sdot sdotO6 2783 A and O10ndashH10F sdot sdot sdotO2 2930 A) and the strong hydrogen bondsbetween the crystalline water and the oxygen atoms ofthe hydroxyl groups (O8ndashH8 sdot sdot sdotO9 2556 A) In Figure 3because there are a lot of crystal water molecules in the com-plex the interstitial water molecules and the carboxyl oxygenatoms will form hydrogen bonds which make the structuremore stable

2O occurs about 81∘C in DSC curve

corresponding to the release of two molecules in crystallinewater This is consistent with the single crystal structureThe experimental percentage mass loss (814) is close tothe calculated one (806) Then a small endothermic peakin DSC curve appears at 294∘C Because there is not anycorresponding mass loss of the sample in the TG curve itcan be attributable to structure rearrangement or phase trans-formation in the solid complex Thereafter the exothermicpeak at 330∘C corresponds to oxidation and decompositionof the ligand and the experimental mass loss (4455) isclose to the calculated one (4457)This step decompositionproduct is Sb

2(CO3)3 Then Sb

2(CO3)3is decomposed into

Sb2O4(Scheme 1) and the experimental and theoretical mass

losses are 1285 and 1298 respectively This is why thereis an appreciable endothermic peak at 492∘C in DSC curveHowever some of the compounds of antimony may bevolatile at high temperature The final step of the exothermicpeak appears at 534∘C in DSC curve The SbndashO single bondis ruptured and then half of the antimony compound may

ion and two crystalline water molecules Sb(III) ion for planeforms a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration TheSb(III) ion is five-coordinated by three carboxyl oxygenatoms (O1 O3 and O5) and two nitrogen atoms (N1 and N2)from the same Hedta3minus ligand Therefore a carboxyl group(O7 and O8) and all water molecules in the title complex arenot coordinated The bond lengths of Sb1ndashO1 Sb1ndashO3 andSb1ndashO5 are in the range of 2182ndash2243 A and it belongs tothe typical distance of the aminopolycarboxylate complexesof antimony(III) [28] But with respect to the bond lengths ofCndashO there are two types of carboxyl groups in the complexThe C5(7)ndashO3(5) is longer than C5(7)ndashO4(6) about 004 Alike the usual ionized carboxyl group But the C3(9)ndashO1(8) is

longer than C3(9)ndashO2(7) about 008 A which is comparablewith the value of a free carboxylic acid and this type ofcoordination seems to cause the especially strong acidityof Sb-(Hedta) The bond angles of N1ndashSb1ndashO3 N1ndashSb1ndashO5N1ndashSb1ndashN2 and N1ndashSb1ndashO1 are almost similar if the Sb1ndashN1 is perpendicular to the equator plane they look like aninverted umbrella and the SbndashN bond lengths are 2336(5) Aand 2402(5) A and the SbndashO band lengths are Sb1ndashO1 =2182(4) A Sb1ndashO3 = 2243(4) A and Sb1ndashO5 = 2199(4) Arespectively

In Tables 2 and 3 there are three types of hydrogenbonds in the crystal of the Sb(III) complex and theyinclude the weak hydrogen bonds between the crystallinewater molecules (O10ndashH10E sdot sdot sdotO9 2950 A) the crystallinewater and the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl groups (O9ndashH9C sdot sdot sdotO4 2702 A O9ndashH9D sdot sdot sdotO6 2783 A and O10ndashH10F sdot sdot sdotO2 2930 A) and the strong hydrogen bondsbetween the crystalline water and the oxygen atoms ofthe hydroxyl groups (O8ndashH8 sdot sdot sdotO9 2556 A) In Figure 3because there are a lot of crystal water molecules in the com-plex the interstitial water molecules and the carboxyl oxygenatoms will form hydrogen bonds which make the structuremore stable

2O occurs about 81∘C in DSC curve

corresponding to the release of two molecules in crystallinewater This is consistent with the single crystal structureThe experimental percentage mass loss (814) is close tothe calculated one (806) Then a small endothermic peakin DSC curve appears at 294∘C Because there is not anycorresponding mass loss of the sample in the TG curve itcan be attributable to structure rearrangement or phase trans-formation in the solid complex Thereafter the exothermicpeak at 330∘C corresponds to oxidation and decompositionof the ligand and the experimental mass loss (4455) isclose to the calculated one (4457)This step decompositionproduct is Sb

2(CO3)3 Then Sb

2(CO3)3is decomposed into

Sb2O4(Scheme 1) and the experimental and theoretical mass

losses are 1285 and 1298 respectively This is why thereis an appreciable endothermic peak at 492∘C in DSC curveHowever some of the compounds of antimony may bevolatile at high temperature The final step of the exothermicpeak appears at 534∘C in DSC curve The SbndashO single bondis ruptured and then half of the antimony compound may

ion and two crystalline water molecules Sb(III) ion for planeforms a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration TheSb(III) ion is five-coordinated by three carboxyl oxygenatoms (O1 O3 and O5) and two nitrogen atoms (N1 and N2)from the same Hedta3minus ligand Therefore a carboxyl group(O7 and O8) and all water molecules in the title complex arenot coordinated The bond lengths of Sb1ndashO1 Sb1ndashO3 andSb1ndashO5 are in the range of 2182ndash2243 A and it belongs tothe typical distance of the aminopolycarboxylate complexesof antimony(III) [28] But with respect to the bond lengths ofCndashO there are two types of carboxyl groups in the complexThe C5(7)ndashO3(5) is longer than C5(7)ndashO4(6) about 004 Alike the usual ionized carboxyl group But the C3(9)ndashO1(8) is

longer than C3(9)ndashO2(7) about 008 A which is comparablewith the value of a free carboxylic acid and this type ofcoordination seems to cause the especially strong acidityof Sb-(Hedta) The bond angles of N1ndashSb1ndashO3 N1ndashSb1ndashO5N1ndashSb1ndashN2 and N1ndashSb1ndashO1 are almost similar if the Sb1ndashN1 is perpendicular to the equator plane they look like aninverted umbrella and the SbndashN bond lengths are 2336(5) Aand 2402(5) A and the SbndashO band lengths are Sb1ndashO1 =2182(4) A Sb1ndashO3 = 2243(4) A and Sb1ndashO5 = 2199(4) Arespectively

In Tables 2 and 3 there are three types of hydrogenbonds in the crystal of the Sb(III) complex and theyinclude the weak hydrogen bonds between the crystallinewater molecules (O10ndashH10E sdot sdot sdotO9 2950 A) the crystallinewater and the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl groups (O9ndashH9C sdot sdot sdotO4 2702 A O9ndashH9D sdot sdot sdotO6 2783 A and O10ndashH10F sdot sdot sdotO2 2930 A) and the strong hydrogen bondsbetween the crystalline water and the oxygen atoms ofthe hydroxyl groups (O8ndashH8 sdot sdot sdotO9 2556 A) In Figure 3because there are a lot of crystal water molecules in the com-plex the interstitial water molecules and the carboxyl oxygenatoms will form hydrogen bonds which make the structuremore stable

2O occurs about 81∘C in DSC curve

corresponding to the release of two molecules in crystallinewater This is consistent with the single crystal structureThe experimental percentage mass loss (814) is close tothe calculated one (806) Then a small endothermic peakin DSC curve appears at 294∘C Because there is not anycorresponding mass loss of the sample in the TG curve itcan be attributable to structure rearrangement or phase trans-formation in the solid complex Thereafter the exothermicpeak at 330∘C corresponds to oxidation and decompositionof the ligand and the experimental mass loss (4455) isclose to the calculated one (4457)This step decompositionproduct is Sb

2(CO3)3 Then Sb

2(CO3)3is decomposed into

Sb2O4(Scheme 1) and the experimental and theoretical mass

losses are 1285 and 1298 respectively This is why thereis an appreciable endothermic peak at 492∘C in DSC curveHowever some of the compounds of antimony may bevolatile at high temperature The final step of the exothermicpeak appears at 534∘C in DSC curve The SbndashO single bondis ruptured and then half of the antimony compound may
