“…Among the metal molybdates, the AMoO4 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) family with a scheelite structure and spatial group I41 presents excellent photoluminescent and photocatalytic properties [13][14][15][16], lead molybdate, PbMoO4 (PMO), being one of the most promising compounds in this family [5]. It is organized structurally by two fundamental units with point of symmetry S4 [6]. The larger, Pb 2+ , and smaller, Mo 6+ , cations are coordinated by eight and four oxygen atoms, forming a cluster with a dodecahedral arrangement, [PbO8], and a cluster of tetrahedral arrays [MoO4], respectively [7].…”
