Frontispiece: Hydrothermal Formation of Calcium Copper Tetrasilicate

Abstract: Crystal Engineering CaCuSi4O10 is a famous pigment (Egyptian blue), rare mineral (cuprorivaite), and unique near‐infrared luminescent material. Now CaCuSi4O10 can be prepared hydrothermally using conditions vastly different from the historic salt‐flux and solid‐state routes. But mind the details—too hot a reaction and you get calcium silicate, too cold and you get a porous calcium copper silicate. 350 °C is just right. Additional parameters that strongly influence the hydrothermal chemistry leading to CaCuSi4O… Show more
