The invention provides a compound monohydrate N-(isopropylimido)
guanidine monofluorophosphate and monohydrate N-(isopropylimido)
guanidine monofluorophosphate birefringent crystal as well as a preparation method and application thereof, the
chemical formula of the compound is (C4N4H11) 2PO3F. H2O, the molecular weight is 346.32, and the compound is prepared by adopting a
room temperature solution method; the
chemical formula of the
crystal is (C4N4H11) 2PO3F. H2O, the molecular weight is 346.32, the
crystal belongs to a triclinic
system, the
space group is shown in the specification, the
cell parameters are as follows: a = 7.3372 (6), b = 9.0541 (8), c = 12.6489 (10), alpha = 96.383 (3) degrees, beta = 96.496 (3) degrees, gamma = 97.670 (3) degrees, the unit
