Bismuth(III) citrate has been used as a sorbent in spin columns to develop a novel stationary phase for the selective and efficient isolation of phenolic compounds from natural sources via solid phase extraction (SPE) method. It can be used to synthesize bismuth subcarbonate ((BiO)2CO3) nanotubes that are reported to show antibacterial property againstHelicobacter pylori.
