Electronegativity force of cations and thermal decomposition of complex fluorides
I. Thermal decomposition of fluorosilicates
Abstract
The thermal decompositions of anhydrous fluorosilicates M2SiF6 (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and MSiF6 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) were investigated. The decompositions proceeded according to a simple acid-base mechanism with evolution of SiF4. The influence of the cationic counter-ion acidity (expressed by means of the electronegativity force) on the course of thermal decomposition was estimated quantitatively.

II. Thermal decomposition of fluoroborates
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of anhydrous fluoroborates MBF4 (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and M(BF4)2 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) was investigated. The decomposition proceeds according to a simple acid-base mechanism with evolution of BF3. The influence of the acidity of cationic counterions, expressed by the electronegativity force on the course of thermal decomposition was estimated quantitatively.
