Beryllium fluoride has distinctive optical properties. In the form of fluoroberyllate glass, it has the lowest refractive index for a solid at room temperature of 1.275. Its dispersive power is the lowest for a solid at 0.0093, and the nonlinear coefficient is also the lowest at 2 × 10 −14.
The gas above molten sodium tetrafluoroberyllate contains BeF 2 and NaF gas. [11] Lithium tetrafluoroberyllate takes on the same crystal form as the mineral phenacite. As a liquid it is proposed for the molten salt reactor, in which it is called FLiBe. The liquid salt has a high specific heat, similar to that of water.
Molten FLiBe flowing; this sample's green tint is from dissolved uranium tetrafluoride.. FLiBe is a molten salt made from a mixture of lithium fluoride (LiF) and beryllium fluoride (BeF 2).
Structure of beryllium fluoride (BeF 2), a compound with a linear geometry at the beryllium atom.. The linear molecular geometry describes the geometry around a central atom bonded to two other atoms (or ligands) placed at a bond angle of 180°.
This pungent, colourless, and toxic gas forms white fumes in moist air. It is a useful Lewis acid and a versatile building block for other boron compounds.
The image captioned "Structure of solid BeF2" is wrong in several respects: It shows only an amorphous network, when BeF2 also has a quartz-like crystalline phase. The network is shown as two dimensional, when the solid has three-dimensional bonding. The network shows tri-coordinate Be ions, when they are in reality tetracoordinate.
