Key Properties
Zinc nitrate hexahydrate extra pure is a widely used soluble oxidizing zinc salt essential in catalyst preparation and materials research. It is characterized by its high purity of 96%, making it suitable for sensitive applications in various chemical processes. The compound is a hexahydrate, meaning it contains six molecules of water for each molecule of zinc nitrate, which contributes to its hygroscopic nature. This compound is particularly notable for its role in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are important in fields such as catalysis, materials science, and nanotechnology.
Also known as Zinc Nitrate, Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate.

- Substance
Zinc nitrate hexahydrate appears as a white crystalline solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It has a melting point of approximately 36 °C (97 °F) and decomposes upon heating, releasing nitrogen oxides and water. The compound is freely soluble in water, with a solubility of about 100 g/L at 20 °C. Its density is approximately 1.65 g/cm³, and it has a boiling point of 100 °C (212 °F) when dissolved in water. The compound has a characteristic odorless nature, making it suitable for laboratory and industrial applications.
