Synthesis and spectroscopic and structural studies of a new cadmium(II)-citrate aqueous complex. Potential relevance to cadmium(II)-citrate speciation and links to cadmium toxicity

Research has been conducted on cadmium(II). The authors have investigated biological and chemical interactions of cadmium(II) with physiological ligands, such as citric acid, in the effort to understand the requisite aqueous chemistry, and have discussed the results.
