In this work, magnesite (MgCO₃) precipitation within the nanoconfined space of adsorbed H₂O films (~5 monolayers) was determined to have an apparent activation energy of only 36 ± 6 kJ mol^–1, suggesting that Mg²⁺ under nanoconfinement adopts a hydration configuration that mimics that of aqueous Ca²⁺, at least energetically, if not also specifically in hydration structure.
