Description
Summary:Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is an important model compound in the study of biomineralization. The octacalcium phosphate-succinate (OCPS) compound is prepared and characterized by (31)P solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Taking advantage of the fact that the crystal structures of OCP and OCPS are very similar, an NMR strategy based on the (31)P homonuclear double-quantum spectroscopy is developed to assign all the peaks observed in the (31)P magic-angle spinning spectrum of OCPS. On the basis of our experimental data, the molecular formula of OCPS is determined to be Ca(7.81)(HPO(4))(1.82)(PO(4))(3.61)(succinate)(0.56).zH(2)O, where z
