formate
Simplest carboxylate anion
Formate is the ion or salt of formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid.
In chemistry, formate appears in compounds like sodium formate and methyl formate, used in leather tanning, textile dyeing, and as a de-icing agent.
The name derives from the Latin word for ant, since formic acid was first isolated from ant venom.
