Synthesis and characterization of multi-functional material MoBP3O12

Abstract

New metal borophosphate compound MoBPO, as a potential candidate of nonlinear optical material, was obtained by hydrothermal method. The title compound was synthesized from the mixture of MoO, BO, and (NH)HPO with the molar ratio 1:0.5:3, by heating at 200 °C for 3 days. The powder X-ray diffraction data was indexed in tetragonal system with the refined unit cell parameters, a = b = 5.302 (8), c = 21.538 (4) Å and Z = 1. Stoichiometric chemical analysis of molybdenum was done by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and boron content was analysed by spectrophotometric azomethine H method. The indexed powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data with POWD program, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum and thermal analysis of MoBP3O12 are also given in the paper.
