oxyhydroxidehydrate
Oxyhydroxidehydrate is a term used to describe a class of solid inorganic materials that consist of oxide and hydroxide groups of a metal combined with water molecules in the structure. These hydrated oxyhydroxides occur as interstitial, interlayer, or coordinated water within the solid and are found in both natural mineral systems and synthetic preparations. The water content can vary, leading to differences in stability, density, and reactivity.
Structurally, oxyhydroxidehydrates range from poorly crystalline or amorphous to semi-crystalline phases. Metal cations are linked by
Synthesis and transformation are driven by aqueous chemistry and aging conditions. They can be formed by precipitation
Occurrence and significance: oxyhydroxidehydrates are abundant in soils, sediments, and weathering environments, where they influence nutrient
