Abstract
Abstract UF6 reacts with AgF dissolved in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to precipitate Ag2UF8. Ag2UF8 has some unexpected properties: On reaction with water it produces O2 and reduced uranium. No adequate explanation could be found of why UF6 and AgF combined in this manner should produce a powerful oxidant. Raman spectra and chemical properties of the solid products are given.
