Potassium trifluoroacetate is the trifluoroacetate salt of potassium, with the chemical formula CF3COOK. It can form an acid salt KH(CF3COO)2.[2]

Preparation and properties

Potassium trifluoroacetate can be obtained by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate.
