Trimagnesium phosphate describes inorganic compounds with formula Mg3(PO4)2.xH2O. They are magnesium acid salts of phosphoric acid, with varying amounts of water of crystallization: x = 0, 5, 8, 22.[2] The octahydrate forms upon reaction of stoichiometric quantities of monomagnesium phosphate (tetrahydrate) with magnesium hydroxide. Mg(H2PO4)2•4H2O + 2 Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2•8H2OThe octahydrate is found in nature as the mineral bobierrite.[3] The anhydrous compound is obtained by heating the hydrates to 400 °C. It is isostructural with cobalt(II) phosphate. The metal ions occupy both octahedral (six-coordinate) and pentacoordinate sites in a 1:2 ratio.[4] Safety[edit]Magnesium phosphate tribasic is listed on the FDA's generally recognized as safe, or GRAS, list of substances.[5] See also[edit]
