Complex formation is useful for metal speciation and also for the separation of diverse metal ions. Among a variety of complexing reagents [20-22] cyanide is probably the most important. IPC separation of metal ions as metallocyanide complexes with a suitable cationic IPR is a reliable technique [23]. Complexation of trace level lanthanides with a-hydroxy isobutyric acid and separation under IPC condition shortened analysis time from days to minutes [24]. Flow injection was successfully coupled to IPC to simplify batch precomplexation detection limits were at sub-microgram per liter levels [2]. 

In a few cases an eluent containing an organic complexing reagent has been used successfully for the chromatographic separation of several metal ions. A notable example is the separation of individual rare earth ions with a solution of 2-hydroxyl-isobutyric acid as the eluent [17]. However, such separations necessitate careful equilibration of the column to maintain a desired pH. Sometimes gradient elution is used, and either the pH or the eluent concentration is changed. 

The polymerization of acrylic acid with the redox initiation system of Mn /isobutyric acid was studied by Elayaperumal et al. [12]. They found the rate to be a complex function of metal ion concentration, with rate decreasing with increasing metal ion up to a point. An increase in isobutyric acid concentration increased the rate. The rates could be explained by a combination of two termination reactions, one involving metal ion, and showing second order dependence on monomer, and one showing termination by a metal ion/isobutyric acid complex, giving first order in monomer concentration.
