Cementation in construction materials primarily relies on the aqueous precipitation of minerals such as carbonates and silicates. The kinetics of nucleation and growth play a critical role in the development of strength and durability, yet our understanding of the kinetic controls governing phase formation and porosity reduction in cements remains limited. In this study, we synthesized bisphosphonate molecules with varying alkyl chain lengths and functional groups to investigate their impact on calcium carbonate precipitation.
