Tetracalcium phosphate

Description:

Tetracalcium phosphate, with the CAS number 13767-12-9, is an inorganic compound composed of calcium and phosphate ions. It is represented by the formula Ca4(PO4)2O and is characterized by its white, crystalline appearance. This compound is primarily known for its role in the formation of bone and teeth, as it is a significant component of hydroxyapatite, the mineral that makes up the hard structure of these tissues. Tetracalcium phosphate is relatively insoluble in water, which contributes to its stability in biological systems. It is often utilized in various applications, including bioceramics for bone grafting and dental materials, due to its biocompatibility and ability to promote osteoconduction. Additionally, it can serve as a calcium and phosphorus source in nutritional supplements. Its properties, such as thermal stability and reactivity with acids, make it a subject of interest in both industrial and biomedical fields. Overall, tetracalcium phosphate plays a crucial role in both natural biological processes and synthetic applications.

Octacalcium phosphate

CAS: 13767-12-9

Octacalcium phosphate is a calcium salt with a molecular formula of Ca8(PO4)6. It is used as a supplement in animal feed, as an emulsifier, and as an ingredient in the production of toothpaste and other dental hygiene products. Octacalcium phosphate has been shown to have biological properties that are due to its carotenoid content. This compound has been shown to be stable in vitro and in vivo, even after exposure to plasma mass spectrometry or tissue culture. Octacalcium phosphate also has strong chemical stability under acidic conditions, which makes it suitable for use as a reaction solution for polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). The crystal structure of octacalcium phosphate was determined by X-ray crystallography and the structural analysis revealed that octacalcium phosphate has an orthorhombic unit cell with a lattice spacing of 12.7 Å. The crystal structure consists of two different types of calcium ions: Ca2
