Silver Acetate CAS 563-63-3

High-Purity Silver Acetate from Aure Chemical – Your Trusted Source

Silver acetate, AgCH₃COO, CAS No. 563-63-3, is a moderately soluble silver(I) carboxylate widely used as a clean, organic-soluble precursor in silver chemistry. Supplied by Aure Chemical as fine white to slightly grayish crystalline powder with high silver content (approximately 64–65% Ag), this compound offers excellent compatibility with organic solvents and serves as an efficient source of Ag⁺ ions or Ag(0) species upon reduction. It is the preferred silver precursor for silver nanoparticle synthesis in non-aqueous media, preparation of silver-based catalysts, organometallic silver complex formation, and formulation of antimicrobial coatings or reagents. Its acetate ligand provides milder reactivity compared to nitrate or perchlorate salts, reducing side reactions in sensitive systems. Aure Chemical ensures precise Ag assay, low heavy metal impurities, and secure silver sourcing to deliver batch consistency and optimal performance in nanotechnology, catalysis, and materials applications worldwide.
