Differential thermal analysis up to complete melting was performed for the complete pseudobinary system LiF-BiF 3 . Melts with high bismuth fluoride concentration show severe evaporation, nevertheless even pure BiF 3 could be molten at 655 • C. The system contains one intermediate compound BiLiF 4 which melts by peritectic decomposition under the formation of LiF at 415 • C. The eutectic between BiLiF 4 and BiF 3 melts at 415 • C. By thermodynamic assessment the following parameters were found for BiLiF 4 : ∆H = −1514900 J mol −1 , S = 158.5 J mol −1 K −1 , c p = 166.173 − 0.01072 · T (in J mol −1 K −1 ). The melt has negative excess Gibbs free energy.
