Crystallinity and Compositional Changes in Carbonated Apatites: Evidence from P Solid-state NMR, Raman, and AFM Analysis

Abstract

Solid-state (magic-angle spinning) NMR spectroscopy is a useful tool for obtaining structural information on bone organic and mineral components and synthetic model minerals at the atomic-level. Raman and P NMR spectral parameters were investigated in a series of synthetic B-type carbonated apatites (CAps). Inverse P NMR linewidth and inverse Raman PO ν bandwidth were both correlated with powder XRD crystallinity over the 0.3-10.3 wt% CO range investigated. Comparison with bone powder crystallinities showed agreement with values predicted by NMR and Raman calibration curves. Carbonate content was divided into two domains by the P NMR chemical shift frequency and the Raman phosphate ν band position. These parameters remain stable except for an abrupt transition at 6.5 wt% carbonate, a composition which corresponds to an average of one carbonate per unit cell. This near-binary distribution of spectroscopic properties was also found in AFM-measured particle sizes and Ca/P molar ratios by elemental analysis. We propose that this transition differentiates between two charge-balancing ion-loss mechanisms as measured by Ca/P ratios. These results define a criterion for spectroscopic characterization of B-type carbonate substitution in apatitic minerals.
