Abstract
Oxo- and (oxo)nitridoberyllates show exceptional potential as host lattices for application in illumination grade phosphor converted (pc)LEDs due to their remarkable electronic and structural characteristics, allowing highly efficient narrow-band emission upon doping with Eu2+. Sr[Be6ON4]:Eu2+, the first example of an oxonitridoberyllate phosphor, exhibits narrow-band cyan emission (λem = 495 nm; full width at half-maximum, fwhm = 35 nm; ≈1400 cm–1), comparable to the emission of the oxonitridosilicate BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ (fwhm = 35 nm) or a cyan-emitting primary LED (fwhm = 27 nm). Sr[Be6ON4]:Eu2+ reveals a highly condensed rigid 3D network with a remarkably large degree of condensation [i.e., atomic ratio Be:(O,N)] of κ = 1.2 that is achieved by interconnection of highly condensed layers of BeN4 tetrahedra by Be2ON6 units via common edges. The crystal structure of Sr[Be6ON4]:Eu2+ was solved on the basis of single-crystal and powder XRD data (C2/c, no. 15, a = 13.9283(14), b = 5.7582(6), c = 4.9908(5) A, β = ...
