Dependence of the Fe(II)-Gallic Acid Coordination Compound Formation Constant on the pH

One important property of tannins involves their ability to form coordination compounds with metal ions, which is vital for the bioavailability of these ions, as well as for the antibacterial and antioxidative activities of tannins. In this study, the pH dependence of interactions between gallic aci...
