Abstract
Synthesis and characterization of antimony tartrate used as a precursor of ceramic powders obtained by Pechini's method were carried out. Antimony tartrate was chosen as a substitute for the antimony citrate commonly used in this chemical processing, because of difficulties in preparing the citrate. FTIR and TGA/DTA analysis showed that antimony tartrate, H2[Sb2(C4H2O6)2], forms a polymeric structure. The procedure described indicates that the antimony chelate obtained is adequate for Pechini's method.
