Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
Trimagnesium phosphate describes inorganic compounds with formula Mg3(PO4)2·nH2O. They are magnesium acid salts of phosphoric acid, with varying amounts of water of crystallization: n = 0, 5, 8, 22.[2]
The octahydrate forms upon reaction of stoichiometric quantities of monomagnesium phosphate (tetrahydrate) with magnesium hydroxide.
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Mg(H2PO4)2 · 4H2O + 2 Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 · 8H2O
The octahydrate is found in nature as the mineral bobierrite.[3]
The anhydrous compound is obtained by heating the hydrates to 400 °C. It is isostructural with cobalt(II) phosphate. The metal ions occupy both octahedral (six-coordinate) and pentacoordinate sites in a 1:2 ratio.[4]
Safety
Magnesium phosphate tribasic is listed on the FDA's generally recognized as safe, or GRAS, list of substances.[5]
