We are presenting the reaction of clofibric acid with Fe3+ in aqueous solutions at 25oC. Clofibric acid is an herbicide that functions as a plant growth regulator against the plant hormone auxin. This ligand, Clofibric acid, binds to PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor). PPAR are a group of nuclear receptor proteins that function as transcription factors regulating the expression of genes. PPARs play essential role in the regulation of cellular differentiation and metabolism (carbohydrate, lipid,  protein) and tumor. The main techniques used to carry out this research are potentiometric titration and UV-Vis spectroscopy. From the potentiometric titrations of Fe3+ : Clofibric acid in different ratios, it appeared that the measured potentials are in total agreement with Nernst Equation. These potentiometric data are novel for this reaction system. We also gathered novel UV-Vis-spectroscopy for this system. It appeared that Clofibric acid binds to Fe3+. It appeared also that the simple one to one (Fe3+: Clofibric acid: Hydroxo (OH)) complexes have been formed.
