テトラプロポキシジルコニウム(IV)

外観

白色～黄色～緑色透明液体

化学的特性

slightly viscous colorless to pale yellow solution

使用

Zirconium(IV) n-propoxide is used as a precursor in the production of zirconia. It is also used to study the thermophysical properties like thermal conductivity and thermal effusivity of hybrid films and thereby adjusting optic properties of the films.

一般的な説明

A yellow-colored liquid with an alcohol-like odor. Has about the same density as water and is insoluble in water. Flash point below 141°F. Vapors are heavier than air. May be irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.

空気と水の反応

Flammable. Insoluble in water.

反応プロフィール

Organometallics, such as TETRA-N-PROPYL ZIRCONATE, are reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate toxic or flammable gases.

健康ハザード

Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

純化方法

Although it was reported that it could not be crystallised or sublimed even at 150o/10-4mm [Bradley & Wardlaw J Chem Soc 280 1951], the propoxide, when properly prepared, has been purifed by distillation in a high vacuum [Bradley et al. J Chem Soc 2025 1953]. [Beilstein 1 IV 1420.]
