Abstract

Solid-state reaction of K2CO3, Al2O3, TiO2 and NH4H2PO4 at 1000 °C leads to a new dipotassium aluminum titanium phosphate: K2AlTi(PO4)3. Its structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the cubic space group P213 (No. 198) with cell parameters of a = 9.76410(10) Å and V = 930.886(17) Å3. It belongs to the langbeinite [K2Mg2(S O4)3] structure type and its structure features a three-dimensional anionic network of [AlTi(PO4)3]2- interconnected by K+ cations. The elemental analysis, IR spectrum and UV-vis absorption spectrum have been investigated. Additionally, we also make the calculations of band structure and density of states with the density functional theory method for the title compound.
