Scientific Research Applications

Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition

Zinc triflate, a form of Zinc TrifluoroMethanesulfinate, is utilized in aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition to create thin films, particularly aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films. These films exhibit high transparency and low electrical resistivity, making them suitable for applications in transparent conducting oxides (Manzi, Knapp, Parkin, & Carmalt, 2016).

Catalytic Applications

Zinc TrifluoroMethanesulfinate is involved in copper- and iron-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylation and difluoromethylation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. This showcases its utility in facilitating radical processes in organic synthesis (Li, Cui, & Liu, 2013).

Electrodeposition from Ionic Liquids

Zinc TrifluoroMethanesulfinate is studied for its role in the electrodeposition of zinc films from ionic liquids. Different morphologies of zinc deposits were observed based on the ionic liquid used, revealing its potential in fine-tuning electrochemical processes (Liu, Abedin, & Endres, 2013).

Anion Sensing

In anion sensing applications, zinc triflate promotes efficient condensations, leading to the creation of squaramides. This demonstrates its potential in developing colorimetric anion sensors, which are important in various analytical applications (Rostami, Colin, Li, Chudziński, Lough, & Taylor, 2010).
