Single crystal structure, vibrational spectroscopy, gas sorption and antimicrobial properties of a new inorganic acidic diphosphates material (NH₄)₂Mg(H₂P₂O₇)₂•2H₂O.

ABSTRACT: We report on the successful synthesis of diammonium magnesium dihydrogendiphosphate (V) dihydrate compound (NH₄)₂Mg(H₂P₂O₇)₂•2H₂O using a wet chemical route. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and micro Raman spectroscopy are employed to characterize the compound. We demonstrate, using a multidisciplinary approach, that this compound is ideal for carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture in addition to other anthropogenic gasses. We show here -from both an experimental as well as from a density functional theory (DFT) calculations routes- the potential for adopting this compound into domestic air-conditioning units (ACUs). From these experiments, the resistance to bacterial growth is also investigated, which
