Silver laurate is an inorganic compound, a salt of silver and lauric acid with the formula AgC
11
H
23
COO
. It forms colorless (white), triclinic crystals.[3][4]

Preparation

Silver laurate can be prepared by treating a pH-adjusted silver nitrate solution with a methanolic solution of lauric acid.[2] The silver nitrate solution's pH is set to 9 by the addition of ammonia solution.[2]
