Iron(III) citrate (CAS 3522-50-7)
QUICK LINKS
Iron(III) citrate hydrate is a coordination compound that combines iron and citrate in a hydrated form, and it is of interest across several research areas, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and environmental science. In biochemistry, it is often used as an iron source to study iron metabolism and the mechanisms of iron uptake in living organisms. Due to its solubility in water, iron(III) citrate hydrate is suitable for use in aqueous solutions, making it an excellent candidate for in vitro experiments requiring iron ions. In environmental chemistry, researchers explore its role in the bioremediation of contaminated sites, as it can be involved in the mobilization or immobilization of heavy metals in soil and groundwater. Iron(III) citrate hydrate is also used in the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles, which have applications in catalysis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and as adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from water. Additionally, the study of iron-citrate complexes contributes to the understanding of iron transport and storage in natural water systems.
