Barium chloride fluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of barium, chlorine, and fluorine. Its chemical formula is BaClF. The compound naturally occurs as zhangpeishanite mineral of the matlockite group. One of the deposits where the mineral is mined is Bayan Obo in China.

Synthesis

Barium chloride fluoride can be prepared by precipitating barium chloride and ammonium fluoride in a solution.

The compound can also be obtained by melting BaF2 with BaCl2.

BaF2 + BaCl2 → 2BaFCl

Physical properties

Barium chloride fluoride forms white crystals. The crystal structure of BaClF is a tetragonal distortion of that of fluoride type BaF
2.

The compound is poorly soluble in water.
