Zirconium acetate usually refers to the chemical formula Zr6O4(OH)4(O2CCH3)12. It forms by the reaction of zirconyl chloride and acetate. Claims of Zr(O2CCH3)4[1] have been superseded by experiments using X-ray crystallography.[2]

The species Zr6O4(OH)4(O2CCH3)12 is a common precursor to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).[3]
