Numerous metal ions are capable of forming nanostructured complexes that may further assemble into micro- and macro-scale architectures. Within biological systems, these structures can lead to significant pathological consequences, including the obstruction of organ excretory pathways or accumulation within body cavities and synovial spaces. Moreover, the formation of such structures has been associated with malignant tumors, highlighting the critical need for systematic investigation in this area. Established methodologies for the synthesis of such nanostructures also offer promising paths for their integration into biomedical applications, such as biosensors and targeted drug delivery systems. For the analytical determination of metal ions within these complexes, a combination of spectrophotometric (UV-Vis, FTIR, AAS) and electrochemical techniques (DPV, CPSA) is employed. The initial identification of these crystalline assemblies typically relies on microscopic visualization. The objective of this study was to synthesize various phosphate-based complexes with selected metal ions and to comprehensively characterize the resulting materials using several analytical techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), electrochemical analysis, and microscopy.
