Abstract

A zircon exhibiting original properties was synthesized under autogenous pressure at 150[thin space (1/6-em)]°C for a few tens of hours. Silicon vacancies in the form of tetrahedral nests [Fn(OH)4–n] were identified by coupling 1H NMR CRAMPS and thermogravimetry. A Rietveld refinement of the structure was performed. The mechanism of the hydrothermal synthesis involves heterocondensation reactions between the Si(OH)4 species and a fluoro-zirconium complex rich in fluorine. Annealing of this fluoro-zircon above 500[thin space (1/6-em)]°C produces, according to the heating profile, either monoclinic or tetragonal zirconia with a plate-like morphology having an acicular network texture.
