Welcome
Thank you for the note on ZrOCl2. I was surprised as well and spent a lot of time looking for the expected oxo complex.

Probably reports exist describing a mass spectrum showing evidence for ZrOCl2. I did find what appears to be a good report on TiOCl2, but only one paper and no crystal structure. It was made from TiCl4 + Cl2O.

You are welcome to expand the current zirconyl chloride. My recommendation, but it is only a suggestion, is as a new person to make smaller edits so that you can see how we do things here.Focus added content on the main material - the hydrate. We call this advice WP:UNDUE: the allocation of content is roughly proportional to the extent of the literature. I advocate reliance on books and reviews, per the advice WP:SECONDARY, but many people just cite journals - the problem is which ones. But the main thing is that if you think something is needed, add it. And if you are unsure, leave a note on the relevant talk pages such as Talk:Zirconyl chloride. --Smokefoot (talk) 12:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * One more thing - if you are related to Nick Robinson (American actor), my advice is to NOT edit there. Similarly when it comes to your areas of expertise, be very cautious about adding references or content about your colleagues' work.  The guideline is called WP:COI and I take it rather seriously.  It is a problem around here.  There are lots of basic topics that are available to all of us, where there is no chance of conflicts of interest.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
