J. Zachara et W. Wisniewski, ELECTRONEGATIVITY FORCE OF CATIONS AND THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF COMPLEX FLUORIDES .1. THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF FLUOROSILICATES, Journal of thermal analysis, 44(2), 1995, pp. 363-373
The thermal decompositions of anhydrous fluorosilicates M(2)SiF(6) (M=
Li, Na, R, Rb, Cs) and MSiF(6) (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) were investigated. The d
ecompositions proceeded according to a simple acid-base mechanism with
evolution of SiF4. The influence of the cationic counter-ion acidity
(expressed by means of the electronegativity force) on the course of t
hermal decomposition was estimated quantitatively.
