Abstract
Incorporation of a Ba impurity in amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is shown with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to have a long-range effect on its atomic-level structure and to be energetically favoured relative to incorporation in crystalline calcium carbonate polymorphs. The ability of carbonate ions to rotate and of ACC to undergo local density changes explain ACC's propensity for incorporating divalent metal impurities with a wide range of ionic radii. These findings provide an atomic-level basis for understanding the significant effects of low concentrations of impurities on the structure of ACC.

Abstract
Water is known to play a controlling role in directing mineralization pathways and stabilizing metastable amorphous intermediates in hydrous carbonate mineral MCO3·nH2O systems, where M2+ is a divalent metal cation. Despite this recognition, the nature of the controls on crystallization is poorly understood, largely owing to the difficulty in characterizing the dynamically disordered structures of amorphous intermediates at the atomic scale. Here, we present a series of atomistic models, derived from ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, across a range of experimentally relevant cations (M = Ca, Mg, Sr) and hydration levels (0 ≤ n ≤ 2). Theoretical simulations of the dependence of the X-ray pair distribution function on the hydration level n show good agreement with available experimental data and thus provide further evidence for a lack of significant nanoscale structure in amorphous carbonates. Upon dehydration, the metal coordination number does not change significantly, but the relative extent of water dissociation increases, indicating that a thermodynamic driving force exists for water dissociation to accompany dehydration. Mg strongly favors monodentate conformation of carbonate ligands and shows a marked preference to exchange monodentate carbonate O for water O upon hydration, whereas Ca and Sr exchange mono- and bidentate carbonate ligands with comparable frequency. Water forms an extensive hydrogen bond network among both water and carbonate groups that exhibits frequent proton transfers for all three cations considered suggesting that proton mobility is likely predominantly due to water dissociation and proton transfer reactions rather than molecular water diffusion.

Abstract
Predicting the precipitation of solids is important in both natural systems and subsurface energy applications. The factors controlling reaction mechanisms, phase selection and conversion between phases are particularly important. In this contribution the precipitation and growth of an amorphous calcium carbonate species from flowing aqueous solution in a nanoporous controlled pore glass is followed in situ with differential X-ray pair distribution function analysis. It is discovered that the local atomic structure of this phase indicates monohydrocalcite-like pair-pair correlations, yet is functionally amorphous because it lacks long-range structure. The unexpected occurrence of synthetic proto-monohydrocalcite amorphous calcium carbonate, precipitated from a solution undersaturated with respect to published solubilities, suggests that nanopore confinement facilitates formation of an amorphous phase at the expense of more favorable crystalline ones. This result illustrates that confinement and interface effects are physical factors exerting control on mineral nucleation behavior in natural and geological systems.

Abstract
![]()
Understanding the
structure and behavior of intermediates in chemical
reactions is the key to developing greater control over the reaction
outcome. This principle is particularly important in the synthesis
of metal nanocrystals (NCs), where the reduction, nucleation, and
growth of the reaction intermediates will determine the final size
and shape of the product. The shape of metal NCs plays a major role
in determining their catalytic, photochemical, and electronic properties
and, thus, the potential applications of the material. In this work,
we demonstrate that layered coordination polymers, called lamellae,
are reaction intermediates in Cu NC synthesis. Importantly, we discover
that the lamella structure can be fine-tuned using organic ligands
of different lengths and that these structural changes control the
shape of the final NC. Specifically, we show that short-chain phosphonate
ligands generate lamellae that are stable enough at the reaction temperature
to facilitate the growth of Cu nuclei into anisotropic Cu NCs, being
primarily triangular plates. In contrast, lamellae formed from long-chain
ligands lose their structure and form spherical Cu NCs. The synthetic
approach presented here provides a versatile tool for the future development
of metal NCs, including other anisotropic structures.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture and mitigation form a key part of the technological response to combat climate change and reduce CO2 emissions. Solid materials capable of reversibly absorbing CO2 have been the focus of intense research for the past two decades, with promising stability and low energy costs to implement and operate compared to the more widely used liquid amines. In this review, we explore the fundamental aspects underpinning solid CO2 sorbents based on alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides operating at medium to high temperature: how their structure, chemical composition, and morphology impact their performance and long-term use. Various optimization strategies are outlined to improve upon the most promising materials, and we combine recent advances across disparate scientific disciplines, including materials discovery, synthesis, and in situ characterization, to present a coherent understanding of the mechanisms of CO2 absorption both at surfaces and within solid materials.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an intermediate step during the precipitation of calcium carbonate, and is assumed to play a key role in biomineralization processes. Here, we have developed a model where ion association thermodynamics in homogeneous phases determine the liquid-liquid miscibility gap of the aqueous calcium carbonate system, verified experimentally using potentiometric titrations, and kinetic studies based on stopped-flow ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The proposed mechanism explains the variable solubilities of solid amorphous calcium carbonates, reconciling previously inconsistent literature values. Accounting for liquid-liquid amorphous polymorphism, the model also provides clues to the mechanism of polymorph selection. It is general and should be tested for systems other than calcium carbonate to provide a new perspective on the physical chemistry of LLPS mechanisms based on stable prenucleation clusters rather than un-/metastable fluctuations in biomineralization, and beyond.
