Zirconyl acetate is the coordination complex with the formula Zr6O4(OH)4(O2CCH3)12. It is a white solid prepared by treating zirconyl chloride with acetic acid. The compound has attracted attention as a precursor to metal-organic frameworks. The structure of the 8.5 hydrate has been determined by EXAFS. The core can be described as a Zr6 octahedron is face-capped with oxide and hydroxide ligands.[1]
