Zinc stearateZinc stearate describes compounds of zinc and stearate (C17H35CO2-). The idealized zinc stearate has the formula Zn(O2CC17H35)2, i.e. Zn2+ bound to stearate. In analogy to basic zinc acetate zinc stearate is Zn4O(O2CR)6, consisting of a Zn4O6+ core with carboxylate ligands spanning the edges.
