ZIRCONIUM(IV) TERT-BUTOXIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellow fuming liquid

Uses

Zirconium(IV) tert-butoxide may be used to synthesize chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl trifluoromethyl ketimines. Zirconia coatings on stainless steel substrates for optical applications can be prepared from zirconium (IV) tert-butoxide precursor by sol gel method.
