Abstract: Amorphous zirconium (diphenylphosphinate-hydrogen phosphate)-ferric chloridecomplex Zr(HPO4)1.5[O2P(C6H5)2]·[FeCl2(OH)] was prepared.The complex is low hygroscopic,not fumy and stable in air.The complex shows fairly good catalytic activity forFriedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons with alkyl halides in liquidphase.The advantages of the reaction are:mild reaction condition,high yield of products,easy operation,simple after-treatment,and many times reuse of the catalyst.

Key words: zirconium diphenylphosphinate-hydrogen phosphate, ferric chloride, complex, alkyl halide, Friedel-Crafts alkylation
