Usage

General Description

Zirconium fluoride, also known as Zirconium(IV) fluoride, is a type of inorganic chemical compound with the formula ZrF4. Usually seen as white crystalline solid, this chemical is characterized by its high melting point of 932 degrees Celsius. It is highly corrosive and can react negatively when it comes in contact with water or skin. It is primarily used in glass making and optical fiber production for its ability to change the refractive index and provide high resistance to glass. Proper caution is required in handling Zirconium fluoride due to its hazardous nature.

Synthesis of filmy ZrF4-BaF2 glasses by fluorination of amorphous oxide gels

Filmy gels of xZrO2-(100-x)BaO compositions (x = 100, 75, 60, 50 and 40) in mol% were prepared by a sol-gel process using zirconium n-butoxide and barium n-butoxide as starting materials. Dried gels of x=100, 75 and 60 were amorphous, while those of x=50 and 40 contained appreciable amounts of crystalline precipitates. The dried gels of x=100, 75 and 60 were fluorinated at 200 approx. 300°C using an HF or NF3 gas. Fluorination of the x=60 dried gel by NF3 at 250°C gave a filmy but monolithic 60ZrF4·40BaF2 glass. The obtained glass was characterized by X-ray diffraction, infra-red absorption, DTA and ESR. The X-ray halo pattern, IR absorption spectrum, glass-transition temperature and crystallization temperature of the glass coincided with those of a 60ZrF4·40BaF2 glass prepared by a conventional melting method.

Higherature monoclinic α-SrHfF6, and isostructural α-SrZrF6: Associating Hf2F12 bipolyhedra and SrF8 snub disphenoids.

The structure of the higherature monoclinic variety α-SrHfF6 (strontium hafnium hexafluoride) [and of isostructural α-SrZrF6 (strontium zirconium hexafluoride)] associates Hf2F12 bipolyhedra and SrF8 snub disphenoids, forming zigzag twisted [SrF6]n layers. The distribution of the Hf and Sr polyhedra forms a three-dimensional framework which can be related to the family of anion-excess ReO3-related superstructures. α-SrHfF6 corresponds to a new ABX6 type and is compared to the other main families already described. A partial amorphization of this structure is observed in samples quenched from the melt.The crystal structure of α-SrHfF6 corresponds to a new structure type in the ABX6 series. It associates Hf2F12 bipolyhedra and SrF8 snub disphenoids, forming zigzag twisted [SrF6]n layers.

Formation and calculations of the simple terminal triplet pnictinidene molecules n÷MF3, P÷MF3, and As÷MF3 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf)

Laser-ablated Ti, Zr, and Hf atoms react with NF3, PF 3, or AsF3 to produce triplet state terminal pnictinidene N÷MF3, P÷MF3, or As÷MF3 molecules, which are trapped in an argon matrix. Prod
