Barium chloride fluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of barium, chlorine, and fluorine. [1] Its chemical formula is BaClF. [2] [3] The compound naturally occurs as zhangpeishanite mineral of the matlockite group. [4] One of the deposits where the mineral is mined is Bayan Obo in China. [5]
Barium fluoride can be prepared by precipitating barium chloride and ammonium fluoride in a solution.
Barium chloride fluoride forms white crystals. [6] The crystal structure of BaClF is a tetragonal distortion of that of fluoride type BaF
2. [7]
The compound is poorly soluble in water. [8]
