H2FeO4 Salts

[minus_Ph]

Is it likely that one could produce a salt KSbFeO4

Any ideas?

Check your oxidation states. Unless antimony assumes a +1 state that I'm unaware of, definetly not. Perhaps KSb(FeO4)2 is what you meant. A ferrate alum is what I suppose you could call it. It's quite hard to isolate ferrate as it is. Not to mention that the Sb will also have anionic character in strong base, which is where ferrate will be stable. You have it as a cation here. I guess it might be still possible, but my money would be against it.

 

Then again, it all goes in the crapper if 2Fe(VI)+3Sb(III) --> 2Fe(III)+3Sb(V) is favorable.
