“…Acids such as sulfuric, nitric, oxalic, phosphoric, substituted sulfonic, etc. when mixed in water with amines give acidic or neutral salts that may be soluble in organic solvents: this solubility allows for the study of their interactions with metal halides, acetates, nitrates, perchlorates, etc, which yield new adducts and complexes in which the conjugate anion of the acid behaves as a ligand, usually coordinating the metal ion (Najafi et al, 2011a,b;Ittyachan et al, 2016;Majeed & Wendt, 2016).…”
