This research was focused on synthesizing 3 zirconium complexes with phenol ligand and preparing ZrO2 from synthesized complex through the method of thermal decomposition was the result of the work. Nanoparticles of ZrO2 were synthesized after the complexes were decomposed in autoclaves at varies temperatures according to the different ligands.FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, chemical analyzing and metal analyzing were used for investigating the complex as analyzing methods.Furthermore, for the obtained nanoparticle, XRD, UV–Vis, FESEM and EDAX analyses were chosen for analyzing. Based on the result, synthesized ZrO2 are able to remove harmful organic compounds under UV light.
