Abstract

This paper present the synthesis of bismuth (III) oxofumarate (BiO)2C4H2O4 by solution-solid reaction due to the interaction of basic bismuth nitrates [Bi6O5(OH)3](NO3)5·3H2O and [Bi6O4(OH)4](NO3)6·H2O with aqueous solutions of fumaric acid C4H4O4. Solubility of (BiO)2C4H2O4 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.
