Bioinspired Citrate-Apatite Nanocrystals Doped with Divalent Transition Metal Ions
(2016) In Crystal Growth & Design 16(1). p.145-153- Abstract
- Bioinspired citrate-carbonate-apatite (cAp) nanocrystals doped with divalent transition metal (M) ions, i.e., Mn2+, Co2+, and Ni2+, were prepared by batch thermal decomplexing of Ca2+/M/citrate/phosphate/carbonate solutions at 80 and 37 degrees C, with initial Ca2+/M molar ratios of 9:1 and 5:5, and at different crystallization times ranging from 1 to 96 h. A thorough chemical, crystallographic, and morphological characterization was carried out on the doped nanocrystals revealing that (i) using similar crystallization conditions the amount of incorporated M normally followed the order Mn2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+; (ii) the growth of nano crystals was clearly enhanced at 80 degrees C and when a lower amount of M was incorporated in the crystal...

Additionally, we found that citrate controlled the activity of hydrated M ions in solution, the extension of the doping process, and protected the M ions against oxidation in solution as well as in the outermost layer of doped nanocrystals. Preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity studies on the murine MS1 endothelial cell line showed that the produced Mn2+- and Co2+-doped nanocrystals were highly biocompatible at doses comparable to those of undoped ones, with the exception of the nanocrystals substituted with the highest Co2+ content at the higher doses.
