Bismuth citrate is an inorganic compound with bismuth as its core element. Its chemical formula is C6H5BiO7, and its molecular weight is 398.08. It appears as a white powder with a melting point of approximately 300°C and a density of 0.94 g/mL (25°C). As an important intermediate in the chemical industry, its core value lies in providing a basic raw material for the synthesis of bismuth-based compounds such as potassium bismuth citrate. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and other fields.
The molecular structure of bismuth citrate consists of bismuth ions (Bi³⁺) and citrate ions linked by coordinate bonds. Its white powder morphology stems from the regular arrangement of its crystal structure. Its high content (99%) ensures chemical stability. CAS number 813-93-4 and EINECS number 212-390-1 are globally recognized chemical substance identification codes. In terms of physical properties, its melting point of 300°C allows it to maintain structural integrity during high-temperature reactions, while its density of 0.94 g/mL affects its solubility and mixing efficiency.
