Magnesium and calcium carbonate minerals are significant reservoirs of Earth's carbon and understanding their behavior under different conditions is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of deep carbon storage. Huntite, MgCa(CO), is one of the two stable calcium magnesium carbonate phases, together with dolomite. The distinctive cation coordination environment of Ca atoms compared to calcite-type and dolomite structures makes huntite a comparatively less dense phase.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers synthesized anhydrous pyrocarbonate and the first hydrogen pyrocarbonate Li[HCO] using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell at moderate pressures (around GPa).
  • The structures of these compounds were analyzed through single crystal X-ray diffraction, complemented by Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations for a deeper understanding of their properties.
  • The discovery of the hydrogenated pyrocarbonate Li[HCO] adds to the family of inorganic pyrocarbonates, showcasing a unique O-H-O structure that transitions to a conventional O-H···O hydrogen bond when pressure is released.
