The octahydrate forms upon reaction of stoichiometric quantities of monomagnesium phosphate with magnesium hydroxide.
- Mg(H2PO4)2 + Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2•8H2O
The octaohydrate is found in nature as the mineral bobierrite.[2]
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.[3]
Safety
Magnesium phosphate tribasic is listed on the FDA's generally recognized as safe, or GRAS, list of substances.[4]
gollark: What do you mean what situation?
gollark: Not letting you do things because of (possible) *emotional* harm to other people is very problematic.
gollark: That seems like kind of a stretch.
gollark: Ethically, I don't think other people have the right to stop someone from deciding what stuff they can do with their own body/life/whatever.
gollark: You can't just tell people to not be "insane" or whatever, and it's their body/life/whatever.
