Zirconium (IV) fluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of zirconium from the group of fluorides .
Extraction and presentation
Zirconium (IV) fluoride can be obtained by reacting zirconium (IV) chloride with hydrogen fluoride .
It is also possible to display it by reacting zirconium (IV) oxide with hydrofluoric acid
or thermal decomposition of (NH 4 ) 2 ZrF 6 .
properties
Zirconium (IV) fluoride is a white, highly refractive, translucent mass that is sparingly soluble in water. From 50 ° C upwards, the compound hydrolyzes in water. The anhydrate has a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group I 2 / a (space group No. 15, position 3) , whereby in addition to the stable β-form there is also a tetragonal α-form ( space group P 4 2 / m (No. 84) ) and a γ-form exist. The β-form consists of square antiprisms ZrF 8 ; each fluorine atom coordinates two zirconium atoms. The trihydrate has a dimeric structure with a triclinic crystal structure. The monohydrate has a tetragonal crystal structure with the space group I 4 2 d (No. 122) .
use
Zirconium (IV) fluoride is used as a raw material for the manufacture of optical glass fibers and optical glasses, especially for IR spectrometry. It is also used as an admixture to nuclear fuels.
