Silver oxide Silver oxide Silver(I) oxide is the chemical compound with the formula AgO. It is a fine black or dark brown powder that is used to prepare other silver compounds. Silver oxide can be prepared by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and an alkali hydroxide. This reaction does not afford appreciable amounts of silver hydroxide due to the favorable energetics for the following reaction: US patent 20050050990 describes the preparation of AgO with properties suitable for use as a fine grained conductive paste filler. AgO features linear, two-coordinate Ag centers linked by tetrahedral oxides. It is isostructural with CuO. It
Silver hexafluorophosphate ferrocene is oxidised to ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate: In terms of their properties and applications, silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF) and the hexafluoroantimonate (AgSbF) are similar to AgPF. Silver nitrate is a traditional and less expensive halide abstraction reagent, as indicated by its widespread use in qualitative tests for halides. Relative to AgPF, however, silver nitrate is poorly soluble in weakly basic solvents: the nitrate anion is Lewis basic and presents an interfering ligand that precludes its use in stringent applications. Silver hexafluorophosphate Silver hexafluorophosphate, sometimes referred to "silver PF-6," is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgPF. Silver hexafluorophosphate is a commonly
