[7] Magnesium carbonate suspended in distilled water with 20% acetic acid solution.

In the experiment the authors found that the acetate had a stronger affinity for the surface compared to the nitrate ion and that the Mg2+ strongly repelled away from the air/liquid interference.

CMA also acts as a powerful SO2, NOx, and toxic particulate emission control agent in coal combustion processes to reduce acid rain, and as an effective catalyst for the facilitation of coal combustion.

[11] Magnesium acetate has been found to cause a conformational change in Escherichia coli enzyme Primase.

In this experiment Mg(OAc)2, MnCl2, CaCl2, NaOAc, LiCl, MgSO4 and MgCl2 were all compared to see what effect they had on the Escherichia coli enzyme Primase.

[14] Magnesium acetate is a relatively safe compound to handle and has been given a health hazard rating of zero.
