Summary:
Three-dimensional oriented attachment of CaCO3 nanoparticles leads to various crystalline superstructures. This unusual mechanism enables the formation of complicated rounded structures with crystallographic orientation from nanosized building blocks, which has so far only been found for transition metal systems. This underlines the importance of nonclassical particle-based crystallization mechanisms for systems assumed to grow by ionic crystallization.
Crystalline hexagonal-shaped superstructures of calcium carbonate, synthesized in the presence of ammonia, are shown to be assembled by a three-dimensional oriented attachment of vaterite nanoparticles. This unusual crystallographic lock-in mechanism enables the formation of complicated rounded structures with a crystallographic orientation from nanosized building blocks, which has so far only been found for transition metal systems.
