“…At physiological pH, the hydrolyzed products isolated so far, for which X-ray structural data are available, were shown to contain oligomeric species. The crystal structures of hydroxo-bridged dimers (Faggiani, Lippert, Lock & Rosenberg, 1977a;Stanko, Hollis, Schreifels & Hoeschele, 1977;Lippert, Lock, Rosenberg & Zvagulis, 1978) and trimers (Faggiani, Lippert, Lock & Rosenberg, 1977b, 1978 have been reported. These oligomers are toxic (Rosenberg, 1978) and might be partly responsible for the…”
