Investigation of the Structure of Crystal-Forming Solutions of Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate K(H2PO4) (KDP type) on the Basis of Modeling Precursor Clusters and According to Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering Data

The potassium dihydrogen phosphate K(H2PO4) (KDP) cluster structures formed in aqueous solutions have been theoretically and experimentally investigated. Cluster modeling of the self-assembly of supramolecular KDP structures is performed, and oligomer clusters (dimers, tetramers, and octamers) are determined. Oligomer clusters are found for the first time in saturated KDP aqueous solutions in the temperature range of 5–80°С by small-angle X-ray...
