ZnP 2 has a room-temperature tetragonal form that converts to a monoclinic form at around 990 °C. [3] In both of these forms, there are chains of P atoms, helical in the tetragonal, semi-spiral in the monoclinic. [4] This compound is part of the Zn-Cd-P-As quaternary system and exhibit partial solid-solution with other binary compounds of the ...
A process to apply zinc pyrithione to cotton with washable results was patented in the United States in 1984. [12] Zinc pyrithione is used to prevent microbe growth in polyester. [13] Textiles with applied zinc pyrithione protect against odor-causing microorganisms. Export of antimicrobial textiles reached US$497.4 million in 2015. [14]
Zinc nitrate has no large scale application but is used on a laboratory scale for the synthesis of coordination polymers. [4] Its controlled decomposition to zinc oxide has also been used for the generation of various ZnO based structures, including nanowires. [5] It can be used as a mordant in dyeing.
Zinc phosphide (Zn 3 P 2) is an inorganic chemical compound.It is a grey solid, although commercial samples are often dark or even black. It is used as a rodenticide. [5] Zn 3 P 2 is a II-V semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.5 eV [6] and may have applications in photovoltaic cells. [7]
Zinc oxide, ZnO, is the most important manufactured compound of zinc, with a wide variety of uses. [2] It crystallizes with the Wurtzite structure. It is amphoteric, dissolving in acids to give the aqueous Zn 2+ ion and in alkali to give the zincate (a.k.a. tetrahydroxozincate) ion, [Zn(OH) 4] 2−. Zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH) 2 is also amphoteric.
Zinc has found many uses in catalysis in organic synthesis including enantioselective synthesis, being a cheap and readily available alternative to precious metal complexes. Quantitative results (yield and enantiomeric excess) obtained with chiral zinc catalysts can be comparable to those achieved with palladium, ruthenium, iridium and others ...
Zinc bromide solutions can be used as a transparent shield against radiation. The space between two glass panes is filled with a strong aqueous solution of zinc bromide with a very high density, to be used as a window on a hot cell. This type of window has the advantage over lead glass in that it will not darken as a result of exposure to ...
Uranyl zinc acetate (ZnUO 2 (CH 3 COO) 4) is a compound of uranium.. Uranyl zinc acetate is used as a laboratory reagent in the determination of sodium concentrations of solutions using a method of quantitatively precipitating sodium with uranyl zinc acetate and gravimetrically determining the sodium as uranyl zinc sodium acetate, (UO 2) 3 ZnNa(CH 3 CO 2) 9 ·6H 2 O.
