Silver tetrafluoroborate Silver tetrafluoroborate Silver tetrafluoroborate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgBF. It is a white solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents as well as water. In its solid state, the Ag centers are bound to fluoride. Silver tetrafluoroborate is prepared by the reaction between boron trifluoride and silver oxide in the presence of benzene. In the inorganic and organometallic chemistry laboratory, silver tetrafluoroborate, sometimes referred to "silver BF-4", is a useful reagent. In dichloromethane, silver tetrafluoroborate is a moderately strong oxidant. Similar to silver hexafluorophosphate, it is commonly used to replace halide anions or ligands with the
Symbol to represent a certain feature. A symbolic action is an action that has no, or little, practical effect but symbolizes, or signals, what the actor wants or believes. The action conveys meaning to the viewers. Symbolic action may overlap with symbolic speech, such as the use of flag burning to express hostility or saluting the flag to express patriotism.
