Abstract: | The structure of a complex, disordered type A-B carbonate apatite (CAp) of approximate composition Ca10(PO4)6−y(CO3)x+(3/2)y(OH)2−2x, x-0.7, y-0.6, synthesized at 3 GPa, 1400°C has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy at room temperature and pressure. Crystal data are: hexagonal, space group P63/m, Z=1; a=9.5143(3), c=6.8821(2) Å, V=539.5 Å3, and R=0.025. There are three structural locations for the carbonate ion. The channel carbonate is mainly in the closed vertical configuration of the structure, with two of its oxygen atoms close to the c-axis (A1 carbonate; IR bands at 1541 and 1449 cm−1), but subordinate amounts are also located in an open vertical configuration (A2 carbonate; IR bands at 1563 and 1506 cm−1). The type B carbonate ion is located close to the sloping faces of the PO4 tetrahedron (IR bands at 1474 and 1406 cm−1), confirming earlier inferences from polarized IR spectra. |
