This review discusses the coordination number (CN) and the coordination geometry of the
first coordination sphere of Pb (II) atoms in crystal structures of 98 lead (II) complexes with O …

In recent years, the chemistry of metal-coordination polymers has been advanced due to
their diverse topologies and potential applications in smart optoelectronic, magnetic …

This chapter covers the fundamental coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, and
biochemistry of Pb (II), with particular emphasis on spectroscopic properties, structures, and …

In this study, as part of developing a new process which can avoid smelting and electro-
winning, citric acid based reagents in aqueous media were reacted with PbO and PbO2 …

Background Kidney and urinary tract stones are among the most common and important
health problems, the prevalence of which is increasing nowadays due to a sedentary …

In industrialized nations, human lead exposure has decreased significantly in recent
decades. Nevertheless, due to its toxic effects, this heavy metal remains a public health …

Citric acid is an important metal chelator of biological relevance. Citric acid helps
solubilizing metals, increasing their bioavailability for plants and microbes and it is also …

A process with potentially reduced environmental impact was studied to recover lead as
ultra-fine lead oxide from lead paste in spent lead acid batteries. The lead paste was …

Low-molecular-mass organic acids (LMMOA) are of key importance for mobilisation and fate
of metals in soil, by functioning as ligands that increase the amount of dissolved metal in …

Synthetic efforts targeting soluble species of Co (II) with the low molecular mass
physiological ligand citric acid led to the isolation of the first dinuclear complex [Co2 …
