Material structure

Figure 1
Barium fluoride is alkaline earth fluoride crystal, colorless and transparent, belonging to cubic crystal system and face centered cubic structure (see Figure 1a). It is a coordination type crystal. Each barium atom is surrounded by eight fluorine ions to form an anionic cubic structure unit (see Figure 1b), while F is surrounded by four Ba atoms to form a tetrahedral structure unit. Ba is closely packed in the cubic lattice (see Figure 1).
The solid barium fluoride is fluorite crystal structure, cubic crystal system. Under high pressure, it changes to lead chloride type structure.
In gaseous state, use BaF two The molecular form exists, the F-Ba-F bond angle is about 108 °, and Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory The predictions of are contradictory. Ab initio calculations show that this is the result of the participation of the d-orbitals of barium atoms. There are also theories that this is caused by the polarization of electrons in the inner layer of barium, which generates a tetrahedral charge distribution around the barium atom and interacts with the Ba-F bond.
