Abstract:
Octacalcium phosphate was synthesized by hydrolysis of alpha-tricalcium phosphate through a wet-chemical processing. Using the same wet-chemical processing in presence of various succinate ions, the preparation of some complexed octacalcium phosphates was attempted. The products were examined by X-ray diffraction method. These complexed octacalcium phosphates intercalated with succinic acid, L-asparatic acid, and methyl succinic acid showed an expanded basal spacing in the octacalcium phosphate unit cell dimensions. The microstructure was observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
