Abstract
High-temperature Raman spectroscopy has been applied to investigate in situ the solution structure near the BaBPO5 crystal-solution interface. The experimental results show that [P2O7] and [BO4] are the basic structural units in BaBPO5-Li4P2O7 high temperature solution, and [BPO7] is the main growth unit of BaBPO5 crystal. In the crystal growth boundary layer, the [P2O7] and [BO4] units are transformed into [BPO7] unit. BaBPO5 crystal growth process is considered as a connection process of growth unit [BPO7] along c axis direction. According to the mechanism, the growth habits of BaBPO5 crystal can be predicted.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
