Yttrium oxyfluoride is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula YOF.[1] Under normal conditions, the compound is a colorless solid.[2]
Synthesis
- The decomposition of crystalline hydrate of yttrium fluoride upon heating (900 °C) in a vacuum:
- 2YF
3 * 1/2H
2O → YOF + YF
3 + 2HF
- Hydrolysis of yttrium fluoride with superheated steam (800 °C):
- YF
3 + H
2O → YOF + 2HF
Properties
Yttrium oxyfluoride forms colorless crystals of tetragonal crystal system; its cell parameters are: a = 0.3910 nm, c = 0.5431 nm. According to hexagonal crystal family, the cell parameters are: a = 0.38727 nm, c = 1.897 nm, Z = 6.
Applications
Stable yttrium oxyfluoride material is used for inner walls of plasma process equipment.[3][4]
