Abstract
Glufosinate acts as a tridentate or tetradentate ligand at near-neutral pH to form complexes with many of the metal ions normally found in groundwater, including Mg 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Fe 2+ , and Fe 3+ . Coordination of the amine, carboxylate, and phosphonate groups to several metal ions was established by IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. The glufosinate complexes are more soluble in water than their glyphosate analogues
