Stability constarts of the complexes formed between alkaline earth metals and three forms of citric acid were determined using Amberlite IR-l20 resin and /sup 45/Ca, Sr, and /sup 133/Ba. Comparison of these results with those of biological studies suggests that the values of K/sub sr//K/sub Ca/ are more important than the stability constants themselves for the effective excretion of radiostrontium from the body. The stability constants (log K values) of the complexes with citric, isocitric, and alloisocitric acids were as follows: for the Ca complex 3.15, 2.28, 1.91; for Sr ratio of all complexes was 1: 1 and all measuremerts were carried out in ionic strength 0.156 diethylbarbiturate buffer at 25 deg C with organic acid concentrations of 0.5 to 5 mM.
