Synthesis and Some Properties of Potassium Peroxofluorozirconate (IV) Species

Abstract
Two types of solid potassium peroxofluoro zirconate (IV) species have been synthesised for the first time. They are K3. Zr2. (O2)2. F7. (0.6–2) H2O and K2. Zr2. (O2)2. F6. (4–5) H2O. The first species is formed when the zirconium to fluoride mole ratios initially employed for the preparation are in the range 1:5 to 1:7, whereas the second one is formed when Zr (IV): F employed for the preparation is 1:3.
