Preparation of manganese(II), chromium(III) and ferric(III) oxides nanoparticles in situ metal citraconate complexes frameworks

Abstract

The new reactions of some divalent and trivalent transition metal ions (Mn(II), Cr(III), and Fe(III)) with citraconic acid has been studied. The obtained results indicate the formation of citraconic acid compounds with molar ratio of metal to citraconic acid of 2:2 or 2:3 with general formulas Mn 2(C5H4O4)2 or M 2(C5H4O4)3. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
