title: Na2Zn3(CO3)4.3H2O: a potentially useful compound for zinc supplementation.
abstract: The infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound were recorded and are briefly discussed on the basis of its structural characteristics. Its thermal behaviour was investigated by means of TG and DTA measurements. Several dissolution tests were also performed. The results support the potential usefulness of this double carbonate as a useful compound for Zn(II) supplementation.
