|Section2= | Reference = }} Algarot, Antimony oxychloride, previously regarded a compound of trichloride and trioxide of antimony, is a pale white emetic powder formerly used in alchemy. It was used as an emetic because it purges violently both through regurgitation and diarrhea. ==History== In his Currus Triumphalis Antimonii (The triumphal chariot of antimony) Basil Valentine describes the reaction of butter of antimony (antimony trichloride) with water. Johann Rudolf Glauber gives a relatively exact chemical interpretation of the reaction in 1659. Vittorio Algarotto introduced the substance into medicine. He called it pulvis angelicus. In older literature the substance was also frequently called pulvis algarotis or Powder of Algaroth. The exact composition was unknown for a very long time. The suggestion of SbOCl being a mixture antimony trichloride and antimony oxide or pure SbOCl were raised. Today the hydrolysis of antimony trichloride is understood; first the SbOCl oxychloride is formed which later forms Sb4O5Cl2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Algarot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
