Abstract

In-situ synchrotron X-ray scattering clarifies the role of templating on calcium carbonate mineralization. Fatty acid monolayers are reorganized by Ca2+ in the subphase, into structures with no epitaxial relation to CaCO3 planes. Crystals are not oriented relative to the film; kinetics dominates polytype selection.
