Structural analysis of the solid amorphous binuclear complexes of iron(III) and aluminum(III) with chromium(III)-DTPA chelator using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction.

This paper is concerned with the structural data obtained for two amorphous binuclear complexes of iron(III) and aluminum(III) with chromium(III)-diethylentriaminepentaacetic acid (chromium(III)-DTPA, CrL(2)(-)) using the energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction technique. Fe(OH)CrL(H(2)O)(6) and Al(OH)CrL(H(2)O)(6) are binuclear complexes, the metals ions being bridged via oxygen atoms. The metal ions are all octahedrally coordinated.
