Vibrational spectroscopic studies of KDP, pure and doped with NH4Cl(0.1m)

Abstract

Monopotassium phosphate or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, KDP (KH2PO4) is a soluble salt which is used as a fertilizer, a food additive and fungicide. It is a source of phosphorus and potassium. It is also a buffering agent. This chapter presents in detail the vibrational analysis on the molecular structure of the compound named KDP doped with NH4Cl by using RAMAN as investigating tools.
