High-temperature cubic modification of tetramethylammonium hexafluoridozirconate (N(CH3)4)2[ZrF6]

Аннотация

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) methods are used to analyze tetramethylammonium hexafluoridozirconate of the composition [N(CH₃)₄]₂ZrF₆. In the temperature range between 96-110 °C, the crystals undergo a reversible phase transition from the low-temperature trigonal modification (space group R3 ) to the high-temperature cubic modification (space group Fm3m). The cubic phase is composed of regular [ZrF₆]²–octahedral and tetrahedral (CH₃)₄N⁺ cations linked by ionic interactions and the С–H•••F hydrogen bonds.
