Stability of Ag III towards Halides in Organosilver(III) Complexes

Surprising silver: The binary silver(I) halides, AgX, are well-known chemical species. In contrast, the only halide of silver(III) currently known is fluoride AgF3. CF3 group provides a suitable frame to stabilise compounds with every halogen; these have been isolated and thoroughly characterised. Multistage unimolecular fragmentation experiments demonstrate that Ag−X bond surprisingly robust. sobriety silver thus perfectly matches colourful variety halogens.
