Simulation of FeCO3 ion clusters in aqueous solution: Implications for crystal growth

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the early stages of FeCO3 crystallization from aqueous solution. A model is presented that predicts values for the free energies and enthalpies of hydration of Fe(II) and CO32- ions and water exchange rates about Fe(II) that are in good agreemen...
