Zinc perchlorate

Zinc perchlorate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn(ClO4)2 which forms the hexahydrate.

Zinc perchlorate can be prepared by dissolving zinc oxide or zinc carbonate in perchloric acid:

The compound decomposes when heated to high temperatures and may explode if heated too strongly.

Like most other perchlorates such as copper perchlorate and lead perchlorate, zinc perchlorate is prone to deliquescence.

Zinc perchlorate can form complexes with ligands such as 8-aminoquinoline, tricarbohydrazide, and tetraphenylethylene tetratriazole.
