Abstract: The reactivity of Al(III) and Ga(III) toward citrate ions in aqueous solutions yielded, under stoichiometric and pH-dependent conditions, well-behaved crystalline mononuclear metal-citrate complexes. Aluminium is found to linked with Alzheimer's disease and gallium is found to accumulate in tissues causing tumors.
