Chemical analysis of Sb in coordination compounds requires quantitative reduction of Sb V in the form of SbF 6 − (and its related fluoro‐hydroxy species) to Sb III . This process, although thermodynamically favoured, appears to be kinetically hindered. The experimentally observed stabilisation of SbF 6 − towards reduction, as happens when the associated metal counterion is complexed by XeF 2 (generally regarded as being an oxidizing agent), is also discussed.
