Calcium pyrophosphate (Ca2P2O7) is a chemical compound, an insoluble calcium salt containing the pyrophosphate anion. There are a number of forms reported: an anhydrous form, a dihydrate, Ca2P2O7·2H2O and a tetrahydrate, Ca2P2O7·4H2O. Deposition of dihydrate crystals in cartilage are responsible for the severe joint pain in cases of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (pseudo gout) whose symptoms are similar to those of gout.[1] Ca2P2O7 is commonly used as a mild abrasive agent in toothpastes,[citation needed] because of its insolubility and nonreactivity toward fluoride.[2]

Preparation

Crystals of the tetrahydrate can be prepared by reacting sodium pyrophosphate, Na4P2O7 with calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2, at carefully controlled pH and temperature:[3]

Na4P2O7(aq)+2 Ca(NO3)2(aq)→ Ca2P2O7·4 H2O + 4 NaNO3

The dihydrate, sometimes termed CPPD, can be formed by the reaction of pyrophosphoric acid with calcium chloride:[citation needed]

CaCl2 + H4P2O7(aq) → Ca2P2O7·2 H2O + HCl.

The anhydrous forms can be prepared by heating dicalcium phosphate:[citation needed]

2 CaHPO4 → Ca2P2O7 + H2O

At 240-500 °C an amorphous phase is formed, heating to 750 °C forms β-Ca2P2O7, heating to 1140 - 1350 °C forms the α-Ca2P2O7.

Structure of anhydrous and hydrated forms

The stable tetrahydrate was originally reported to be rhombohedral but is now believed to be monoclinic. Additionally there is an unstable monoclinic form.[3]

The dihydrate is triclinic, with hydrogen bonding between the two water molecules and hydrogen bonds to the O atoms on the anion.[citation needed] An hexagonal dihydrate has also been reported.[4]

The anhydrous form has 3 polymorphs, α-, β-, and metastable γ[5] (Tα/β=1140ºС[6]). The high temperature form α- is monoclinic (P21/n, a=12.66(1)Å, b=8.542(8)Å, c=5.315(5)Å, Z=4, ρα=2.95 g/cm3), with 8 coordinate calcium, the lower temperature form β- is tetragonal (P41, a=b=6.684Å, c=24.144Å, V=915.40Å3, Z=8, ρβ=3.128 g/cm3), with calcium in four different coordination environments, 2 that are 7 coordinate, one eight and one 9. In both the pyrophosphates are essentially eclipsed.[7][8][9]
