Synthesis of vaterite CaCO3 by direct precipitation using glycine and L-alanine as directing agents

Shivkumara C, Singh P, Gupta A, Hegde MS

We report room temperature synthesis of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) vaterite phase by the reaction of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate with glycine or L-alanine as directing agents. The compound crystallize in the hexagonal symmetry, P6(3)/mmc with a = 4.1304(8) angstrom and c = 8.4770(2) angstrom. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
