'''Zirconium(IV) fluoride''' describes members of a family ] with the formula ]](H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>x</sub>. All are colorless, diamagnetic solids. Anhydrous Zirconium(IV) fluoride is a component of ] ].<ref name=Ull>{{cite book |doi=10.1002/14356007.a28_543 |chapter=Zirconium and Zirconium Compounds |title=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |year=2000 |last1=Nielsen |first1=Ralph |isbn=3527306730 }}</ref>

==Structure==
] ZrF<sub>4</sub>]]
Three crystalline phases of ZrF<sub>4</sub> have been reported, α (]), β (], ] tP40, ] P42/m, No 84) and γ (unknown structure). β and γ phases are unstable and irreversibly transform into the α phase at 400&nbsp;°C.<ref>{{cite book|page=144| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DvqwTdVhjMEC&pg=PA144| title=Chemical thermodynamics of zirconium|author1=Paul L.

Zirconium(IV) fluoride forms several hydrates. The trihydrate has the structure {{chem2|(μ\sF)22}}.<ref>{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd|page=965}}</ref>

==Preparation and reactions==
Zirconium fluoride can be produced by several methods. ] reacts with hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid to afford the anhydrous and monohydrates:
:{{chem2|ZrO2 + 4 HF -> ZrF4 + 2 H2O}}
The reaction of Zr metal reacts at high temperatures with HF as well:
:{{chem2|Zr + 4 HF -> ZrF4 + 2 H2}}

Zirconium dioxide reacts at 200 °C with solid ] to give the heptafluorozirconate salt, which can be converted to the tetrafluoride at 500 °C:
:{{chem2|2ZrO2 + 7 (NH4)HF2 -> 2 (NH4)3ZrF7 + 4 H2O + NH3}}
:{{chem2|(NH4)3ZrF7 -> ZrF4 + 3 HF + 3 NH3}}

Addition of hydrofluoric acid to solutions of ] precipitates solid monohydrate. Hydrates of zirconium tetrafluoride can be dehydrated by heating under a stream of hydrogen fluoride.

Zirconium fluoride can be purified by ] or ].<ref name=Ull/>

Zirconium fluoride forms double salts with other ]s. The most prominent is ], formed by fusion of potassium fluoride and zirconium tetrafluoride:<ref>{{Kirk-Othmer|doi=10.1002/0471238961.2009200113051908.a01|title=Fluorine compounds, inorganic, titanium|first=Dayal&nbsp;T.|last=Meshri|year=2000}}</ref>
:{{chem2|ZrF4 + 2 KF -> K2ZrF6}}

==Applications==
The major and perhaps only commercial application of zirconium fluoride is as a precursor to ZBLAN glasses.<ref name=Ull/>

Mixture of sodium fluoride, zirconium fluoride, and ] (53-41-6&nbsp;mol.%) was used as a coolant in the ]. A mixture of ], ], zirconium fluoride, and ] was used in the ]. (] is used in the ] reactors.){{cn|date=June 2023}}
