Fluorination of ZnF2 To ensure batch materials were as dry as possible, the ZnF2 was fluorinated before melting, as the as-received chemicals were not phase pure (see chapter 5). The OH - group can readily substitute with the F - ion in a number of compounds due to similar ionic radii (140 and ≈ 131 pm respectively [2]). The fluorination reaction was based on TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) results obtained by Sanghera et al. [3, 4]. This type of pre-melt drying has been employed for halide glasses for a number of years [5]. Equation (3.5) and (3.6) summarise the reactions which are believed to take place during fluorination. Saito et al. [6] are the only group, to the current authors knowledge, to describe the reaction between similar compounds to those used in this study (Zn(OH)F and NH4F) in any detail (a patent by Watanabe et al. [7] does briefly mention the fluorination reaction). From this work, and the work of Sanghera et al. [3, 4] which describes the drying of compounds used to synthesise ZBLAN glasses with (NH4)HF2, the following chemical reactions are proposed. (NH4)HF2 + Zn(OH)F ZnF2 + NH3↑ + HF↑ + H2O↑ (3.5) (NH4)HF2 + Zn(OH)2 ZnF2 + NH3↑ + H2O↑ (3.6) From XRD patterns obtained (see chapter 5), it was assumed that the as-received ZnF2 was of average composition Zn(OH)F (i.e. batch composed of ZnF2, Zn(OH)F and Zn(OH)2). Therefore for each gram of fluoride, 0.56 g of (NH4)HF2 was needed for complete fluorination to ZnF2, although the amount of (NH4)HF2 was likely to have been excessive (see section 5). Therefore, for each fluorination, 8.4 g of (NH4)HF2
