Ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate or ammonium triflate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CF
3SO
3NH
4.[1] This is the ammonium salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid).[2][3]
Synthesis
The compound is typically prepared by neutralising trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with ammonia or an ammonium salt, followed by crystallisation.
Properties
The compound is a white, crystalline powder, soluble in water.[4]
Uses
The compound exhibits strong acidity, making it useful as a reagent in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis and catalysis.[5]
Ammonium triflate is widely investigated as an ionic dopant in solid polymer electrolytes, particularly those based on poly(ethylene oxide), iota‑carrageenan, or other biopolymers.[6]
