Abstract: | Absorption spectrophotometry has been used to study the dimorphic BkF3 system and BkF4 in the solid state. LaF3-type trigonal BkF3 can be distinguished from YF3-type orthorhombic BkF3 by subtle, but reproducible, differences in their corresponding absorption spectra. This ability emphasizes the sensitivity of absorption spectrophotometric analysis, since both crystal modifications of BkF3 have the same metal ion coordination number of nine. The absorption spectrum of BkF4 (UF4-type monoclinic structure) is reported for the first time. |
