Tricoordinated planar triangle (PO 4 ) 3− may be formed due to the structural differences between planar triangular (BO 3 ) 3− and tetrahedral (PO 4 ) 3− when (BO 3 ) 3− is gradually substituted by (PO 4 ) 3− . This transformation of structure may affect the luminescence properties of phosphor. Therefore, a series of Ca 5−y (BO 3 ) 3−x (PO 4 ) x F (CBP x F):yBi 3+ (y = 0.05, 0.15; x = 0−3), Ca 5−y (PO 4 ) 3−X (BO 3 ) X F (CPB X F):yBi 3+ (y = 0.05, 0.15; X = 0−1), Ca 4.9 (PO 4 ) 3 F (CPF):0.1Eu 3+ , Ca 4.95 (PO 4 ) 3 F (CPF):0.05Bi 3+ , and nCaF 2 /CaCl 2 (n = 0−0.1) are synthesized to explore transformation of the crystal structure on luminescence properties. In CBP x F:0.15Bi 3+ (x = 0−3), (PO 4 ) 3− is doped to substitute for (BO 3 ) 3− , the position of emission spectra remains unchanged and the emission intensity decreases rapidly with increasing x. The underlying main reason for that is formation of the triangular plane (PO 4 ) 3− , which has been verified by performing a series of verification experiments of CPB X F:yBi 3+ (y = 0.5, 0.15; X = 0−1). In CPB X F:yBi 3+ (y = 0.5, 0.15; X = 0−1), (BO 3 ) 3− is doped to substitute for (PO 4 ) 3− , P− O2 bond breaks and the coordination of (PO 4 ) 3− varies from four to three when 0.5 < X < 1; meanwhile, the crystal structure transforms from Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (ICSD-9444) to Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (ISCD-30261), which impedes abnormal reduction from Bi 3+ to Bi 2+ . Furthermore, Bi 3+ should non-luminance in the plane triangular (PO 4 ) 3− , but luminescence in (BO 3 ) 3− . Therefore, the emission intensity starts to increase and the emission position suddenly changes from 553 to 474 nm in CPB X F:yBi 3+ (y = 0.05, 0.15; 0.5 < X < 1). From this, the crystal structures of CBP x F:yBi 3+ (y = 0.05, 0.15; x = 0−3) has been inferred to transform from Ca 5 (BO 3 ) 3 F (ISCD-65763) to Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (ISCD-30261), and then to Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (ISCD-9444) with x increasing. Emission position remains unchanged and the emission intensity decreases rapidly in CBP x F:yBi 3+ (y = 0.05, 0.15; x = 0−3) do to formation of the triangular plane (PO 4 ) 3− . In addition, the rate of abnormal reduction from Bi 3+ to Bi 2+ can be improved by reducing the electronegativity of the environment around the activator or increasing the ionization energy of the activator, which has been confirmed by verification experiments of CPF:0.05Bi 3+ , nCaF 2 /CaCl 2 (n = 0−0.1), and CPF:0.1Eu 3+ .
