Abstract
⺠The ionic strength decreases during the precipitation of an insoluble salt. ⺠The drop in ionic strength can be sufficient to stabilize a system during formation. ⺠We observe two stages in the aging of colloidal iron(III) pyrophosphate salts. ⺠While the nanoparticles are unstable, their aggregates remain in dispersion. ⺠Calculated interaction potentials confirm decreasing ionic strength as the cause.
