KSbF
KSbF, also known as potassium antimonide, is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula KSb. It is a salt formed between potassium, a highly electropositive alkali metal, and antimony, a metalloid with properties between metals and nonmetals. KSbF is a gray solid under standard conditions and is known for its reactivity. It belongs to the group of alkali metal antimonides, which are characterized by the presence of the Sb^3- anion. This anion is highly basic and can act as a nucleophile.
The synthesis of KSbF typically involves the reaction of elemental potassium with elemental antimony, often under
