“…[7] In fields of functional materials and catalysis, most inorganic porous materials and molecular sieves are phosphates like SAPO-5, [8] Pb/SAPO-11, [9] and MAPO-5 (M=Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba). [10] Furthermore, for magnetic materials, phosphates containing transition elements (especially Fe, Cu and Mn) and rare earth elements (peculiarly Tb and Gd) are hot research systems and many excellent magnetic compounds, such as Na 4 NiFe(PO 4 ) 3 , [11] K 2 Mn 0.5 Ti 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 , [12] and K 3 Gd 5 (PO 4 ) 6 , [13] have been found. In addition, studies on nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have shown that phosphates can be excellent ultraviolet and visible NLO materials, while several famous orthophosphates, such as KTiOPO 4 , [14] Ba 3 (ZnB 5 O 10 )PO 4 , [15] and Pb 3 Bi(PO 4 ) 3 , [16] have been found with large SHG response.…”
