摘要
Antimony mercaplde heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chlorideis synthesized from antimony trioxide and mercaptocarboxylic acid esters, HS(CH2).COoi-C8H17 (n=1～2) at 100～115 C In the presence of 0. 5%～1 % an organic acid catalyst. Some physicochemicalconstants of the compounds, such as density and refractive index, aredetermined. The complexes are hydrolabll in aqueous solutions andthe bond of Sb-S is weaker than that of Sb-o. The forming bondproperty of antimony tris (mercaptoacid ester ) has been elucidatedby measurement of infrared spectra in comparison with mercaptocarboxylic acid esters. The polyvinyl chloride resins containing antimony mercaptide heat stabilizers, do not darken at elevated temperatures and exhibit a high degree of stability. It is proposed that mercaptocarboxylic acid ester freeradicals can esterify PVC microradicals at carbon atoms with upaired electrons.
