Mononuclear Aluminum–Fluoride Ions, AlF<i>_x</i>^(+/−)—Study of Plausible Frameworks of Complexes with Biomolecules and Their In Vitro Toxicity by Anja Pavlovič, Larisa Janžič, Lucija Sršen, Andreja Nataša Kopitar, Kathleen F. Edwards, Joel F. Liebman, Maja Ponikvar-Svet

“…Our review of salts of ionic AlF<i>_x</i> species, which plausibly form the framework of complexes with biomolecules, revealed that the octahedral configuration of aluminum in the active site of the enzyme is preferred over the trigonal-bipyramidal structure. The effects of varying concentrations of fluoride, aluminum and AlF<i>_x</i>—from micromolar to millimolar levels—on the viability and apoptosis rate of THP-1 monocytes were investigated using phosphate buffer solution as a culture media to simulate physiological conditions. …”
