Ammonium Formate

Ammonium formate can be used as a buffer in High Performance Liquid Chromatography (), and is suitable for use with Liquid Chromatography/ Mass spectroscopy ()

Ammonium formate can also be used in reduction of functional groups. In the presence of Pd/C, Ammonium formate decomposes to hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. This hydrogen gas is absorbed onto the surface of the palladium metal, where it can react with various functional groups. For example, alkenes can be reduced to alkanes, or formaldehyde to methanol. Activated single bonds to heteroatoms can also be replaced by hydrogens ().

Pure ammonium formate decomposes into and when heated, and this is its primary use in industry. Formic acid can also be obtained by reacting ammonium formate with a dilute acid, and since ammonium formate is also produced from formic acid, it can serve as a way of storing formic acid.

Ammonium formate, NH₄HCO₂, is the of . It is a colorless,
