(inorganic chemistry) A binary compound of antimony with a more positive compound, for example, H5Sb. Also known as stibide.
Antimonides (sometimes called stibnides) are compounds of antimony with more electropositive elements. The antimonide ion is Sb3−.
Many of them are flammable or decomposed by oxygen when heated since the antimonide ion is a reducing agent.
