'''Calcium fluoride''' is the ] of the elements ] and ] with the ] CaF<sub>2</sub>. It is a white solid that is practically insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral ] (also called fluorspar), which is often deeply coloured owing to impurities.

==Chemical structure==
{{main|Fluorite structure}}
The compound crystallizes in a cubic motif called the ].
]
Ca<sup>2+</sup> centres are eight-coordinate, being centred in a cube of eight F<sup>−</sup> centres. Each F<sup>−</sup> centre is coordinated to four Ca<sup>2+</sup> centres in the shape of a tetrahedron.<ref>G. L. Miessler and D. A. Tarr "Inorganic Chemistry" 3rd Ed, Pearson/Prentice Hall publisher, {{ISBN|0-13-035471-6}}.</ref> Although perfectly packed crystalline samples are colorless, the mineral is often deeply colored due to the presence of ]s.
The same crystal structure is found in numerous ionic compounds with formula AB<sub>2</sub>, such as ], ], ], ], and ]. In the corresponding ], called the antifluorite structure, anions and cations are swapped, such as ].

===Gas phase===
The gas phase is noteworthy for failing the predictions of ]; the {{chem2|CaF2}} molecule is not linear like {{chem2|MgF2}}, but bent with a ] of approximately 145°; the strontium and barium dihalides also have a bent geometry.<ref>{{Greenwood&Earnshaw}}</ref> It has been proposed that this is due to the fluoride ]s interacting with the electron core<ref name = "Gillespie&Robinson">{{cite journal | last1 = Gillespie | first1 = R.

==Preparation==
The mineral ] is abundant, widespread, and mainly of interest as a precursor to ]. Thus, little motivation exists for the industrial production of CaF<sub>2</sub>. High purity CaF<sub>2</sub> is produced by treating ] with ]:<ref name=Aigueperse>{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a11_307|title=Fluorine Compounds, Inorganic|year=2000|last1=Aigueperse|first1=Jean|last2=Mollard|first2=Paul|last3=Devilliers|first3=Didier|last4=Chemla|first4=Marius|last5=Faron|first5=Robert|last6=Romano|first6=René|last7=Cuer|first7=Jean Pierre|isbn=3527306730}}</ref>

==Applications==
{{Main|Fluorite}}
Naturally occurring CaF<sub>2</sub> is the principal source of ], a commodity chemical used to produce a wide range of materials.
Calcium fluoride in the ] state is of significant commercial importance as a fluoride source.<ref>Aigueperse, Jean; Mollard, Paul; Devilliers, Didier; Chemla, Marius; Faron, Robert; Romano, Renée; Cuer, Jean Pierre (2005), "Fluorine Compounds, Inorganic", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Weinheim: Wiley-VCH, p. 307, doi:10.1002/14356007.a11_307.</ref> Hydrogen fluoride is liberated from the mineral by the action of concentrated ]:<ref>Holleman, A. F.; Wiberg, E. "Inorganic Chemistry" Academic Press: San Diego, 2001. {{ISBN|0-12-352651-5}}.</ref>
:CaF<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> → ](solid) + 2 HF

===Others===
Calcium fluoride is used to manufacture optical components such as windows and lenses, used in thermal imaging systems, spectroscopy, ]s, and ]s (used for ] in the form of a fused lens). It is transparent over a broad range from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) frequencies. Its low refractive index reduces the need for ]s. Its insolubility in water is convenient as well.{{Cn|date=June 2022}} It also allows much smaller wavelengths to pass through.{{Cn|date=June 2022}}

Doped calcium fluoride, like natural fluorite, exhibits ] and is used in ]s. It forms when fluorine combines with calcium.{{Cn|date=June 2022}}

==Safety==
CaF<sub>2</sub> is classified as "not dangerous", although reacting it with ] produces ], which is highly corrosive and toxic. With regards to inhalation, the ]-recommended concentration of fluorine-containing dusts is 2.5&nbsp;mg/m<sup>3</sup> in air.<ref name=Aigueperse/>
