Abstract
This review sets out to present a comprehensive overview of the current development of 43Ca solid state NMR as at the early part of 2012, with particular reference to applications in inorganic materials science. However examples will also be drawn from the organic and biological fields to illustrate specific aspects of the development of the technique, with further reference to solution studies. Calcium is an important element in many natural materials as well as those being developed synthetically. It is the fifth most abundant element in the earth’s crust at 3.5% [1] and is found in many minerals, with the three most common being CaCO3 (calcium carbonate, which is present in limestone and marble in the form of different polymorphs), CaSO4·2H2O (gypsum) and CaF2 (fluorite). Calcium carbonate also features in other very important natural biomaterials such as shells and human gallstones. Another very important mineral that contains calcium as the main cation is apatite [2] which is the basis for the inorganic component of bones and hence is a hugely significant material. The development of suitable materials to act as implants for bone replacement and regeneration must crucially contain calcium. In terms of volume of production and underlying importance to the construction industry, cements and concretes are of fundamental importance, and are based around calcium silicates. Calcium is thus a very important element within such systems, and understanding the role that it is playing is key.
