Abstract
A wet-chemical technique for synthesizing zirconium oxyfluoride was presented. The zirconium oxyfluoride precursor was made by dissolving zirconium acetate in an excess of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). It was observed that in synthesizing the zirconium oxyfluoride precursor, trifluoroacetate completely replaced the acetate ligands on the zirconium ions. After the reacted solution was dried and dissolved in a deuterated solvent, F NMR revealed a 76.51 ppm shift due to the CF3 group, where pure trifluoroacetic acid produced a shift of 76.57 ppm.
