Zirconyl chloride（Cat No.:R071289）, commonly represented as ZrOCl₂·xH₂O, is an inorganic compound consisting of zirconium, oxygen, and chlorine, typically found as a white to off-white crystalline solid or powder. It is highly soluble in water and often used as a precursor in the preparation of zirconium-based materials, including catalysts, ceramics, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In aqueous solutions, it forms hydrolyzed species, making it useful in sol-gel processes and pigment formulations. Zirconyl chloride is also employed in analytical chemistry and water treatment for its ability to form stable complexes with various ligands.
