X-ray-diffraction analysis of the molten ZnCl2–KCl system
Abstract
The structure of molten ZnCl2, 2ZnCl2·KCl, ZnCl2·KCl, and ZnCl2·2KCl have been examined by X-ray-diffraction analysis. The existence of a tetrahedral [ZnCl4] unit in these systems was confirmed from the first peak of the radial distribution function of each composition.
