Temperature-induced mobility in octacalcium phosphate impacts crystal symmetry: water dynamics studied by NMR crystallography† Octacalcium phosphate (OCP, Ca8(PO4)4(HPO4)2·5H2O) is a notable calcium phosphate due to its biocompatibility, making it a widely studied material for bone substitution. It is known to be a precursor of bone mineral, but its role in biomineralisation remains unclear.
