Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Fourier-transform infrared spectra of three samples of deposited amorphous phosphates, calcium monodiphosphate (orthopyrophosphate) with a molar ratio 2P/(2P + 1P) of ∼0.3, calcium magnesium monophosphate with an atomic ratio Mg/(Mg + Ca) of ∼0.3, and calcium-magnesium monodiphosphate with a molar ratio 2P/(2P + 1P) of ∼0.1 and atomic ratio Mg/(Mg + Ca) of ∼0.1, were analyzed. On the basis of the observed similarity between the v(OH), δ(OH) and (δ + ω)(OH) lines in the spectra of these phosphates and liquid water analogous states of water molecules therein were assumed. It was presumed that the formation of amorphous phosphates involves deposition of poorly soluble substances on the surface of water nanoclusters.
