Synthesis of bismuth (III) oxofumarate and its solubility in organic solvents.

This paper present the synthesis of bismuth (III) oxofumarate (BiO)CHO by solution-solid reaction due to the interaction of basic bismuth nitrates [BiO(OH)](NO)·3HO and [BiO(OH)](NO)·HO with aqueous solutions of fumaric acid CHO. Solubility of (BiO)CHO in various organic solvents has been investigated. The morphology and phase composition of the samples was established by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric and chemical analyzes.
