Barium chloride fluoride is aninorganic chemical compound ofbarium,chlorine, andfluorine.[1] Its chemical formula isBaClF.[2][3] The compound naturally occurs aszhangpeishanite mineral of thematlockite group.[4] One of the deposits where the mineral is mined isBayan Obo in China.[5]
Barium chloride fluoride can be prepared by precipitatingbarium chloride andammonium fluoride in a solution.
The compound can also be obtained by meltingBaF2 withBaCl2.[6]
Barium chloride fluoride forms white crystals.[7] The crystal structure of BaClF is a tetragonal distortion of that of fluoride typeBaF
2.[8]
The compound is poorly soluble in water.[9]
