Structural depolymerization of zirconium(IV) fluoride complexes
Suggested by the author the concept of structural depolymerization of metal fluoride compounds, which is a basis for the formation of metal fluoride complexes and their crystal structures, was considered. The character of the structural depolymerization of fluoride zirconium complexes with K+, guanidinium and ethylenediammonium cations, the influence of the medium acidity and heat treatment on the polymerization of zirconium fluoride complexes with discrete complex anions and the use of the proposed concept for the systematics of the crystal structures of fluoridozirconates(IV) are being discussed.
