Ammonothermal Synthesis of Luminescent Imidonitridophosphate Ba₄P₄N₈(NH)₂:Eu².

ABSTRACT: The structural variability of a compound class is an important criterion for the research into phosphor host lattices for phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). Especially, nitridophosphates and the related class of imidonitridophosphates are promising candidates. Recently, the ammonothermal approach has opened a systematic access to this substance class with larger sample quantities. We present the successful ammonothermal synthesis of the imidonitridophosphate Ba₄P₄N₈(NH)₂:Eu²⁺. Its crystal structure is solved by X-ray diffraction and it crystallizes in space group Cc (no. 9) with lattice parameters a=12.5250(3), b=12.5566(4), c=7.3882(2) Å and β=102.9793(10)°. For the first time, adamantane-type (imido)nitridophosphate
