Location of Carbonate Ions in Metal-Doped Carbonated Hydroxylapatites
Claude H. Yoder,

Abstract:The environment model for the description of the location of carbonate ions in apatites predicts that approximately half of the carbonate occupies the apatite channel. This model relies on the influence of entities surrounding the carbonate on its IR spectrum and can be used to determine how various substituents affect the location and structure of that ion. Careful deconvolution (peak-fitting) of the asymmetric carbonate IR region was used to determine the percentage of A-type (channel) ions, A′-type (channel… Show more
