J. Zachara et W. Wisniewski, ELECTRONEGATIVITY FORCE OF CATIONS AND THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF COMPLEX FLUORIDES .2. THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF FLUOROBORATES, Journal of thermal analysis, 44(4), 1995, pp. 929-935
The thermal decomposition of anhydrous fluoroborates MBF(4) (M=Li, Na,
K, Rb, Cs) and M(BF4)2 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) was investigated. The decomposi
tion proceeds according to a simple acid-base mechanism with evolution
of BF3. The influence of the acidity of cationic counter-ions, expres
sed by the electronegativity force on the course of thermal decomposit
ion was estimated quantitatively.
