Abstract
BaFeF4 is orthorhombic: a = 4.234(1) Angstrom, b = 14.856(2) Angstrom, c = 5.837(1) Angstrom, Z = 4. The crystal structure of this fluroride isostructural with BaMnF4, was solved by the Rietveld method starting from its X-ray powder diffractogram, in the space group, Cmc2(1) (No. 36). Its structure can be described as consisting of puckered sheers of 4 corner-sharing [FeF6] octahedra, separated by the barium atoms.
