We report a neutron diffraction study of the liquid structure of YCl<sub>3</sub> and combine the structural data with macroscopic melting and transport data to contrast the behaviour of this molten salt with those of SrCl<sub>2</sub>, ZnCl<sub>2</sub> and AlCl<sub>3</sub> as prototypes of different melting mechanisms for ionic materials. A novel melting mechanism for trivalent metal chlorides, leading to a loose disordered network of edge-sharing octahedral units in the liquid phase, is thereby established. The various melting behaviours are related to bonding character with the help of Pettifor's phenomenological chemical scale. |
