Zinc hydroxy phosphite complex

摘要

A substantially pure composition of matter and process for making the same which comprises a zinc hydroxy phosphite complex represented by the theoretical structural formula [2Zn(OH)2. ZnHPO3].XZnO wherein X is a number from 0 to 17 and wherein the structure has infrared absorption frequencies at 3506; 3472; 3282; 3163; 2401; 2361; 1079; 947; 867; and 796 cm-1, +/-4.0 cm-1, and X-ray diffraction d(A) spacings at 9.04; 5.94; 4.44; 3.58; 3.44; 3.38; 2.75; 2.70; and 1.67; +/-0.02A.
