Zinc compounds, like those of main group elements, are mostly colourless. Exceptions occur when the compound contains a coloured anion or ligand. However, zinc selenide and zinc telluride are both coloured due to charge-transfer processes. Zinc oxide turns yellow when heated due to the loss of some oxygen atoms and formation of a defect structure
Related to the preparation of Lucas' reagent, tetrachlorozincates are often generated by combining hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride. A related anion is [Zn 2 Cl 6] 2−, in which again Zn(II) adopts a tetrahedral geometry. [2] Portion of the crystal structure of the salt hexaacetonitrilenickel(II) tetrachlorozincate ([Ni(CH 3 CN) 6] 2+ [ZnCl ...
In its coordination complexes zinc(II) adopts several coordination geometries, commonly octahedral, tetrahedral, and various pentacoordinate geometries. These structural flexibility can be attributed to zinc's electronic configuration [Ar]3d 10 4s 2. The 3d orbital is filled, and therefore, ligand field effects are nonexistent.
Zinc is bluish-white and lustrous, [9] though most common commercial grades of the metal have a dull finish. [10] Zinc is also referred to in nonscientific contexts as spelter. [11] Cadmium is soft, malleable, ductile, and with a bluish-white color. Mercury is a liquid, heavy, silvery-white metal.
Zinc cyanide is the inorganic compound with the formula Zn 2. It is a white solid that is used mainly for electroplating zinc but also has more specialized applications for the synthesis of organic compounds .
Zinc is an inexpensive and effective part of treatment of diarrhea among children in the developing world. Zinc becomes depleted in the body during diarrhea and replenishing zinc with a 10- to 14-day course of treatment can reduce the duration and severity of diarrheal episodes and may also prevent future episodes for as long as three months.

Zinc picolinate (or ZnPic) is the zinc coordination complex derived from picolinic acid and zinc(II). It has the formula Zn(NC 5 H 4 CO 2 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 . The complex adopts an octahedral molecular geometry , containing two bidentate picolinate ligands (conjugate base of picolinic acid) and two aquo ligands .
Zinc acetylacetonate is an acetylacetonate complex of zinc, with the chemical formula of Zn(C 5 H 7 O 2) 2. The compound is in fact a trimer, Zn 3 (acac) 6 , in which each Zn ion is coordinated by five oxygen atoms in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure.
