Uranyl zinc acetate (ZnUO₂(CH₃COO)₄) is a compound of uranium.

Uranyl zinc acetate is used as a laboratory reagent in the determination of sodium concentrations of solutions using a method of quantitatively precipitating sodium with uranyl zinc acetate and gravimetrically determining the sodium as uranyl zinc sodium acetate, (UO₂)₃ZnNa(CH₃CO₂)₉·6H₂O. The presence of caesium and rubidium does not interfere with this reaction, but the presence of potassium and lithium must be removed prior to analysis.^[1]^[2]

This method was important to determine Na in urine for diagnostic purposes. Zinc uranyl acetate is sometimes called "sodium reagent" since pale yellow NaZn(UO₂)₃(C₂H₃O₂)₉ is one of the very few insoluble sodium compounds.

Laboratory use

Uranyl zinc acetate has been used as a catalyst for the demethoxylation of toluene-2,4-dicarbamate into toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI).^[3]
