title: Definitive identification of lead(II)-amino acid adducts and the solid state structure of a lead-valine complex.
abstract: Electrospray ionization mass spectra of lead(II) nitrate-amino acid mixtures enable unequivocal identification of lead complexes for each of the essential amino acids and a valine complex is reported as the first crystallographically characterized lead-amino acid complex.
