Silver Trifluoroacetate CAS 2966-50-9

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

Silver trifluoroacetate, AgCF₃COO, CAS No. 2966-50-9, is a highly reactive silver(I) carboxylate precursor valued for its strong Lewis acidity and solubility in organic solvents. Supplied by Aure Chemical as white to off-white crystalline powder with high silver content (approximately 47–48% Ag), this compound serves as an efficient source of Ag⁺ ions or Ag(0) species upon reduction. It is widely used in silver nanoparticle synthesis (via controlled reduction in non-aqueous media), preparation of silver-based catalysts, organometallic silver complex formation, and as a reagent in organic synthesis (e.g., trifluoroacetoxylation, decarboxylation). The trifluoroacetate ligand provides enhanced electrophilicity compared to acetate or nitrate salts, making it preferred in systems requiring strong silver activation. Aure Chemical delivers stringent purity control, low residual impurities, and secure silver sourcing to ensure batch consistency and optimal performance in nanotechnology, catalysis, and materials applications worldwide.
