The antimonate ion is Sb(OH)6, where Sb is antimony and (OH) is the hydroxyl group.

An antimonate (compound) refers to a compound that contains the antimonate ion.

See category for a list. Antimonate ions occur in some minerals (see category:Antimonate minerals).

In acid conditions this forms antimony pentoxide, Sb2O5; in other conditions we have the antimonate ion, Sb(OH)6.

Like its horizontal neighbor in the periodic table, tellurium, and unlike other elements in the same group, antimony is commonly hexacoordinate, for example in the unit Sb(OH)6; tetracoordinate units are not common.
