Abstract

Abstract : Ag 2+ is a powerful oxidizer capable of oxidizing even O2 in certain conditions. This cation has previously been thought to be incompatible with water, and the synthesis of Ag 2+ compounds has previously been conducted in anhydrous environments. However, water molecules may in fact be attached to the voracious Ag 2+ cation without decomposition, as shown by the formation and properties of the complex salt [Ag(OH2 )2 ][Ag(SO4 )2 ]. More information can be found in the Full Paper by P. J. Leszczyński and W. Grochala et al. onpage 1805 ff.
