Abstract
An open-frame aluminophosphate, K[(Zn0.5Al0.5)2P2O8] (KZAPO), was rationally designed by a substitution design strategy and synthesized by a high-temperature molten salt method. Compared with the parent crystal of K[ZnBP2O8], KZAPO was characterized by similar 4 × 8 × 8 networks, a comparable short-wave ultraviolet transparency and a more regular tetrahedral frame with the mixing of (ZnO4)6- and (AlO4)5- anionic groups, highlighting the multifunctional roles that anionic group mixing played in structural and property modulations. In particular, KZAPO was characterized by a high thermal stability (over 850 °C) and a congruent-melting behavior, being conducive to practical applications.
