Synthesis of copper (II) citrate and evaluation of its in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activities, and the suitability of using this chemical as a plant protection agent

Abstract

In this paper, copper (II) citrate Cu₃(C₆H₅O₇)₂ was successfully synthesised in an aqueous solution. The factors for the synthesis process such as temperature
and molar ratio of the reactants were investigated. The structural, properties and composition characteristics of the elements were investigated and evaluated by
X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-Vis spectroscopy...
