Product Information

• Name: Silver(I) 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Silver trifluoroacetate is a chemical compound that is a silver salt of trifluoroacetic acid. Silver trifluoroacetate is a white crystalline solid, soluble in water and alcohols, but insoluble in ethers. It has the chemical formula AgCF3CO2H. The crystal structure of silver trifluoroacetate has been determined by x-ray diffraction techniques and found to be orthorhombic with space group Pbam. The molecule consists of two 5-membered heteroaromatic rings, one containing carbon atoms and the other containing nitrogen atoms. The nitrogen atom is bonded to six hydrogen atoms and three fluorine atoms, while the carbon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms and one fluorine atom. Synthesis methods for this compound include reacting silver nitrate with sodium carbonate in water vapor at 120°C.
