Key Properties
Silver citrate (extra pure) is a soluble silver(I) salt derived from citric acid, notable for its applications in antimicrobial research and as a reference compound in various scientific studies. This compound is characterized by its unique molecular structure, which includes multiple carboxylate groups that enhance its solubility and reactivity. Silver citrate is particularly valued in the field of materials science for its ability to release silver ions, which exhibit potent antimicrobial properties. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications in research and development.
Also known as Silver(I) citrate.

- Substance
Silver citrate appears as a white to pale gray crystalline solid, which is light-sensitive and should be handled with care to avoid degradation. The compound has a melting point of approximately 200 °C (392 °F) when hydrated, and it is soluble in water, allowing for easy incorporation into various formulations. The density of silver citrate is around 1.5 g/cm³, and it has a relatively low vapor pressure, indicating stability under standard conditions. Its hygroscopic nature means it can absorb moisture from the air, which is an important consideration for storage and handling.
