In this paper, a new layered material zirconium[(3-ethylsulfanyl)-propyl]-phosphonate (noted as ZEPP) was synthesized via the reaction between [(3-ethylsulfanyl)-propyl]-phosphonate and ZrOCl2. The synthesized material was found to have spherical morphology with cavity and folded blades composited the spheres. Existence of nonpolar organic group (-CH2CH2CH2SCH2CH3) in framework of the material and surface roughness make the material, without modification by any low-surface-energy reagent, has super hydrophobicity property. Water contact angle (CA) on pressing plate of the sample is about 152 degrees, larger than other zirconium phosphonates reported.
