Am. Fedosseev et al., Crystal structure and luminescence properties of europium-doped iodo- and telluromolybdate compounds, J LUMINESC, 87-9, 2000, pp. 1065-1068
Synthesis of large crystals of the europium-doped iodo- and telluromolybdat
e compounds is described and structural determination is performed. K(NH4)[
RE(IMo6O24)(H2O)(5)]. 4H(2)O, REIMo, RE = La-Eu, is triclinic and (NH4)(3)[
RE(TeMo6O24)(H2O)(5)]. 4H(2)O, RETeMo, RE = La-Eu, monoclinic. The rare-ear
th ion occupies in both compounds C-s symmetry site. The luminescence analy
sis with europium as a local structural probe confirms the crystallographic
structure. The emission spectra are similar in all compounds. (C) 2000 Els
