In the present study, a new complex Cr(III)-quinic was synthesized. The new species was characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic, structural, thermal, EPR and magnetic susceptibility studies. Detailed aqueous speciation studies in the Cr(III)-quinic system suggest the presence of a number of species with distinct structural properties related to the ones encountered in the synthetic complex isolated and investigated.
