Abstract
Calculated properties of calcium carbonate monomers and dimers are presented. Properties of the dimer are compared to properties of calcite and of the cleavage surface of calcite. Protonation and hydration of calcium carbonate are discussed. The calcium carbonate dimer is a model for some features of the calcite surface.
