Silver tetrafluoroborate weakly coordinating tetrafluoroborate anions. The abstraction of the halide is driven by the precipitation of the appropriate silver halide. 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
Silver phosphate Silver phosphate Silver phosphate or silver orthophosphate is a light sensitive, yellow, water-insoluble chemical compound composed of silver and phosphate ions of formula AgPO. Silver phosphate is formed as a yellow precipitate by the reaction between a soluble silver compound, such as silver nitrate with a soluble orthophosphate; its solubility product is 8.89×10 moldm. The precipitation reaction is analytically significant and can be used in qualitative or quantitative tests for phosphates. This compound is dissolved by nitric acid, or by ammonia. It can also be formed as large crystals by gradual loss of ammonia from an ammoniacal solution of silver
