Zinc citrate is an inorganic-organic coordination compound consisting of zinc ions complexed with citrate anions. It is slightly soluble in water and is used for its stabilizing, antimicrobial, and ion-delivering properties in technical, chemical, and industrial formulations.
Chemical and Physical Properties
Density: ~2.5–3.0 g/cm³ (estimated)
Melting Point: Decomposes before melting
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Solubility in Water: Slightly soluble (depends on pH and concentration)
Solubility in Other Solvents: Practically insoluble in organic solvents; soluble in dilute acids
Odor: Odorless
Applications
Chemical Industry: Used as a zinc source in specialized chemical formulations.
Material Science: Investigated for antimicrobial coatings and functional materials.
Catalysis: Explored as a precursor in the preparation of zinc-based catalysts.
Water Treatment: Sometimes incorporated into systems for metal ion release and stabilization.
Analytical Chemistry: Studied for coordination chemistry involving citrate and transition metals.
