Silver oxalate ({{chem|Ag|2|C|2|O|4}}) is a silver salt of oxalic acid commonly employed in experimental petrology to add carbon dioxide ({{chem|link=carbon dioxide|CO|2}}) to experiments as it will break down to silver (Ag) and carbon dioxide under geologic conditions.[http://www.americanelements.com/agoxl.html Silver Oxalate] at American Elements It is also a precursor to the production of silver nanoparticles.

It is explosive upon heating around 140 degrees Celsius, shock or friction.
