Abstract
In this short contribution, we examine Raman spectroscopic data from high-pressure and high-temperature experiments with an Ag-Cl2 system, and find that they are in good agreement with previously observed and calculated spectra of polychloride species. Our results imply the formation of a hitherto unknown AgClx compound, which warrants further study.
Highlights
Among the three coinage metals known since antiquity—copper, silver and gold—the chemistry of silver is perhaps the most elusive and challenging [1]
It adopts the oxidation state +1 in the vast majority of its known compounds [1]. It is the chemistry of silver(II) that has received greater attention from solid state chemists and physicists, due to the unpaired d electron giving rise to magnetic interactions in AgF2 and its ternary derivatives [2,3]
We are concerned with the possibility of obtaining novel combinations of silver and chlorine
Summary
Among the three coinage metals known since antiquity—copper, silver and gold—the chemistry of silver is perhaps the most elusive and challenging [1]. It adopts the oxidation state +1 (with closed-subshell d10 electronic configuration) in the vast majority of its known compounds [1]. It is the chemistry of silver(II) that has received greater attention from solid state chemists and physicists, due to the unpaired d electron giving rise to magnetic interactions in AgF2 and its ternary derivatives [2,3].
