Abstract
Instantaneous neutralization of Fe(III) chloride dissolved in Na citrate by powdery NaHCO3 gave stable clear brown sols. The sol particles separated b y dialysis and freeze-drying showed a single diffraction peak at 2 nm and a citrate/Fe molar ratio of about 0.2 irrespective of the composition of the starting solutions. This indicates that the product may be a novel phase o f Fe(III) citrate.
