- With MIIIMI[B(SO4)2]4 (MIII = Bi3+, Sb3+, Lu3+; MI = H3O+, NO2+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+), we recently described the first modular system within borosulfate chemistry comprising a three-dimensional anion. Herein, we shed light on the respective series of antimony compounds SbX[B(SO4)2]4 (X = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ag+, Tl+, NO+, NH4+). While maintaining the same anionic topology, the compounds crystallize in the space groups Imathematical equation (no. 82), Pmathematical equation (no. 81), and C2 (no. 5) and are strongly influenced by the lone pair of antimony as well as the size of the monovalent cations. In the course of this investigation SbX[B4O2(SO4)6] (X = Li+, Na+) were discovered. This borosulfate with a one-dimensional anion comprising B─O─B bridges crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) and features a new structure type. 121Sb Mössbauer spectra revealed negative isomer shifts of almost −22 mm·s−1 not observed before and hinting towards a very weak coordination behaviorWith MIIIMI[B(SO4)2]4 (MIII = Bi3+, Sb3+, Lu3+; MI = H3O+, NO2+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+), we recently described the first modular system within borosulfate chemistry comprising a three-dimensional anion.

The spectra are confirmed by DFT calculations. Furthermore, single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and temperature programmed X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out.…
