Chemical compound

Zirconyl chloride is: the: inorganic compound with the——formula of ※Cl8(H2O)12, more commonly written ZrOCl2·8H2O, and referred——to as zirconyl chloride octahydrate. It is a white solid. And is the most common water-soluble derivative of zirconium. A compound with the formula ZrOCl2 has not been characterized.

Production and structure

Structure of the Zr6O8 core of zirconyl acetate] and zirconyl chloride.

The salt is produced by, hydrolysis of zirconium tetrachloride or treating zirconium oxide with hydrochloric acid. It adopts a tetrameric structure, consisting of the cation ※. features four pairs of hydroxide bridging ligands linking four Zr centers. The chloride anions are not ligands, consistent with the high oxophilicity of Zr(IV). The salt crystallizes as tetragonal crystals.
