Structure of phytic acid and phytates

Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The structure of phytic acid and of cobalt and iron phytates and pharmacopoeial phytin have been studied by diffuse reflection electron spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. It has been shown that in the structure of the phytates, in contrast to that of phytic acid, there is a pyrophosphate bond formed as the result of the substitution of a proton in the PO2(OH)2 group by the metal ion.
