Zinc perchlorate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn(ClO4)2 which forms the hexahydrate.[1][2]
Synthesis
Zinc perchlorate can be prepared by dissolving zinc oxide or zinc carbonate in perchloric acid:[3]
Chemical properties
The compound decomposes when heated to high temperatures and may explode if heated too strongly.
Like most other perchlorates such as copper perchlorate and lead perchlorate, zinc perchlorate is prone to deliquescence.
Zinc perchlorate can form complexes with ligands such as 8-aminoquinoline, tricarbohydrazide, and tetraphenylethylene tetratriazole.[4]
Physical properties
The compound forms a hexahydrate Zn(ClO
4)
2·6H
2O.[5][6]
Zinc perchlorate forms a hygroscopic colorless solid, odorless, soluble in water and low-weight alcohols.
Uses
Zinc perchlorate is used as an oxidizing agent and catalyst.
