Abstract Hydroxapatites precipitated with different amounts of carbonate and Mn2+ were studied. Infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction lattice parameters and thermal behaviour indicate that the presence of Mn2+ does not have any effect on the formation and properties of the carbonate apatites obtained. Interaction of apatite with a Mn2+-containing aqueous solution reveals that the molar uptake of Mn2+ by the apatite is higher than the Ca2+ released by it. Ligand-field and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy results show that in Mn2+-doped Cd5(PO4)3Cl, Mn2+ replaces Ca2+ in the apatite lattice, but in precipitated carbonate apatite it is in an MnO phase. The conclusion that Mn2+ in precipitated carbonate apatites is not incorporated in the apatite crystal is discussed in the light of the size differences between Mn2+ and Ca2+.
