Structure of Dihydrogen Phosphate Ion Aggregates by Raman-Monitored Serial Dilution

Abstract

The aggregation of dihydrogen phosphate ion has been studied by Raman spectroscopy during serial dilution of highly concentrated (>5 M) solutions. Factor analysis has been used to recover monomer and aggregate spectra from families of 600–2000 spectra obtained during dilution to about 0.1 M. Spectra of the free aquated dihydrogen phosphate ion and its dimer, trimer, and tetramer have been obtained. There is some evidence for the existence of longer chain aggregates. The serial dilution procedure has been verified by dilution of 2.3 M glycine solution. Only spectra of monomer and dimer ions are recovered. For the well-understood glycine system, the band positions and intensities and the dimerization concentration-dependence are in agreement with previously reported values.

Trends in early mineralization of murine calvarial osteoblastic cultures: a Raman microscopic study

“…The transect data sets were divided into two spectral subregions and exploratory factor analysis (FA) was performed as described in a previous paper. 30 Briefly, eignenanalysis was performed to reduce the data to a few eigenvectors that represented most of the variance in the data set. These eigenvectors were then linearly combined (i.e.…”

Assessment of composition and anisotropic elastic properties of secondary osteon lamellae

“…The scan fields were chosen to cover a set of five to six alternating lamellae from the Haversian canal boundary towards the osteon boundary. Fluorescence background in the spectra was removed prior to further processing using a software implemented fifth-order polynomial subtraction (Shaver et al, 1998). The phosphate n 1 (961 cm À1 ) and amide I (1665 cm À1 ) bands were used as indicators of mineral and collagen concentration (Carden et al, 1999).…”

Spatial Distribution of Phosphate Species in Mature and Newly Generated Mammalian Bone by Hyperspectral Raman Imaging

“…16 Our group has employed factor analysis to extract information from sets of 500-2000 solution Raman spectra. 17 We have applied the same technique to Raman imaging to generate chemical composition contrast in bone 14 and in aluminosilicate glasses 18 and crystallinity contrast in syndiotactic polystyrene. 19 …”
