BIRD dissociation kinetics for the loss of a water molecule from $\mathrm{Ca}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_n^{2+}$, n = 24 and 32, both with the ECD cathode at room temperature and with the cathode heated to 950 °C but with no electrons introduced into the cell: $\mathrm{Ca}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_{24}^{2+}$ cathode at room temperature (■) and at 950 °C (□); $\mathrm{Ca}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_{32}^{2+}$ cathode at room temperature (●) and at 950 °C (○).
