Zinc chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (817 words)
Zinc chloride is an ionic salt, though some covalent character is indicated by its low melting point (275 °C) and its high solubility in solvents such as diethyl ether.
One use for zinc chloride is as a flux for soldering.
Zinc chloride is also a useful starting point for the synthesis of many organozinc reagents, such as those used in the palladium catalysed Negishi coupling with aryl halides or vinyl halides
