Ammonium formate(CAT: R030152) is the ammonium salt of formic acid, with the chemical formula NH₄HCO₂. It appears as a white, crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. This compound is widely used in analytical chemistry, particularly in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) as a volatile buffer due to its ability to maintain pH without leaving non-volatile residues. Ammonium formate also serves as a reducing agent in transfer hydrogenation reactions and plays a role in organic synthesis and peptide coupling protocols. It is suitable for research applications in both biochemical and industrial settings.
