(a) The chains of the M1O9 polyhedra in HAp running parallel to the c axis with neighbouring PO4 coordination tetrahedra as viewed along [010]. (b) The crystal structure of HAp viewed along [001]. The largest dark spheres represent M1 sites. M2 positions are connected in triangles around the anion, i.e. OH− group in the channel. PO4 coordination tetrahedra are shaded. |
