Zirconium ethoxide

Description:
Zirconium ethoxide, with the CAS number 18267-08-8, is an organometallic compound characterized by its coordination of zirconium with ethoxide groups. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, but it is less soluble in water due to the presence of the ethoxide groups. Zirconium ethoxide is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of zirconium oxide and other zirconium-based materials, particularly in the production of ceramics and catalysts. Its reactivity is notable; it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of zirconium hydroxide and ethanol. Additionally, zirconium ethoxide is utilized in sol-gel processes, which are important for creating thin films and coatings with specific properties. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
