Abstract
We have assigned the (31)P high-resolution spectrum of octacalcium phosphate by (31)P double quantum and HETCOR spectroscopy. The (31)P peaks at -0.2, 2.0, 3.3 and 3.7 ppm are assigned to P5/P6, P3, P2/P4 and P1, respectively. Our data reveal that substantial amount of the PO(4)(3-) groups at the P2 and P4 sites have been transformed to HPO(4)(2-) in our octacalcium phosphate sample.
