. The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid (stearic acid).[1][2][3]

Synthesis

[edit]

Silver stearate can be obtained by the reaction of sodium stearate and silver nitrate.

Also by the reaction of stearic acid and silver nitrate in presence of DBU.[4]

Physical properties

[edit]

Silver stearate forms white powder.[5]
