The inhibiting influence of four organic bisphosphonates with different substituents on the growth rate of barium sulfate crystals, suspended in a supersaturated solution, has been investigated. The growth process has been studied conductometrically. Plots of both the relative supersaturation versus time and the mean linear rate versus the growth affinity have been given. — The results have been interpreted using a hypothesis, stating that growth inhibition occurs due to simultaneous coordination of the cations and hydrogen bonding of the anions at the active growth spots on the crystal surface.
