Antimonides

compounds of antimony with metals. They are solids with relatively high melting points. Some antimonides (Na₃Sb, Ca₃Sb₂, Zn₃b₂, and others) may be regarded as derivatives of antimony hydride (SbH₃—stibine); others (ZnSb, SnSb, Ni₄Sb, and Ni₅Sb) constitute typical intermetallic compounds, sometimes with considerable regions of homogeneity (SnSb, Tl₇Sb₂). Antimonides are usually prepared by fusion of components. Antimonides of certain metals have valuable semiconducting properties. Of greatest interest are the antimonides of group III metals of the periodic system, which crystallize in the structure of zincblende (AlSb, GaSb, InSb). Indium an-timonide (InSb) is used as the material for making infrared radiation detectors and Hall transducers.
