A Fourier analysis of X‐ray scattering by glasses in the system ZrF 4 ‐BaF 2 is presented. The first peak in the radial distribution functions occurs in the range 0.209 to 0.211 nm; the average coordination numbers estimated for the zirconium atom are in the range 7.08 to 8.35, depending on the chemical composition. The second peak has been broken down into two components attributed to two kinds of Ba‐F distances, 0.261 to 0.266 and 0.307 to 0.319 nm, with a corresponding coordination number of barium with respect to fluorine atoms ranging from 8.70 to 10.68. Interpretation of the cation‐cation region is suggested; the average angle values of the Zr‐F‐Zr bridge bond, varying from 150° to 160° prevent two neighboring zirconium atoms from being bonded through two fluorine atoms. Comparative discussions with crystalline structures of fluorozirconates are presented.
