Silver binary compounds

All binary compounds of Group 17 (VIIA) elements (other than F) with metals are soluble except those of silver, mercury (I), and lead. 

For example, the results in Table 3 suggest that binary carbonyls of copper, silver and gold which have been detected spectrometrically in matrices at very low temperatures27, contain metal-CO bonds which are approximately of the same strength as those in Mn2(CO)i0. Similar considerations apply to carbonyls of palladium and platinum which have also been detected by matrix isolation spectrometry28. All of these binary compounds are unstable with respect to [M(c) + CO(g)J at room temperature. 

The chemistry of gold is more diversified than that of silver. Six oxidation states, from -I to III and V, occur in its chemistry. Gold(-I) and Auv have no counterparts in the chemistry of silver. Solvated electrons in liquid ammonia can reduce gold to give the Au" ion which is stable in liquid ammonia (E° = -2.15 V). In the series of binary compounds MAu (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs), the metallic character decreases from Na to Cs. CsAu is a semiconductor with the CsCl structure and is best described as an ionic compound, Cs+Au . The electron affinity of gold (—222.7 kJ mol"1) is comparable to that of iodine (-295.3 kJ mol-1). Gold in the oxidation state -I is also found in the oxides (M+ Au O2 (M = Rb, Cs) these, too, have semiconducting properties.1... 

There are only a few binary compounds. The black oxide AgO, obtained by ozoniza-tion of Ag20 in water or by electrolysis of 2 M AgN03 solutions, is actually Ag1Ag11102. Silver(II) fluoride is obtained as a dark brown solid by fluorination of AgF or other Ag compounds at elevated temperatures, or from the reaction of AgF3 with xenon ... 

A substance is considered soluble if more than three grams of the substance dissolves in 100 ml of water. The more common rules are listed below. 1. All common salts of the group 1A elements and ammonium ions are soluble. 2. All common acetates and nitrates are soluble. 3. All binary compounds of group 7A elements (other than F) with metals are soluble except those of silver, mercury(l), and lead. 4. All sulfates are soluble except those of barium, strontium, lead, calcium, silver, and mercury(l). 5. Except for those in Rule 1, carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, sulfides, and phosphates are insoluble. ... 

Silver(n) Compounds, d9.12 The Ag2+ ion is well defined and numerous complexes are known but only one binary compound, AgF2 the oxide, AgO, is actually Ag Agin02 and is accordingly discussed under Ag111. 

Silver(lll), ds, Compounds.12 Binary Compounds. A black oxide, that is not readily purified but is probably Ag203, is obtained by anodic oxidation of Ag+ in alkaline solution. The black so-called silver(n) oxide, which is... 

A similar relation is observed for the binaiy structure types YCde (SG.Im3,a = 1548.3 pm) (Larson and Cromer, 1971) and YbCdg (SG lm3, a = 1565.8 pm) (Palenzona, 1971), and temaiy YbAg2ln4 (Sysa et al., 1989). These structures are actually identical considering the lattice parameters, the space group symmetry, the sites, and the parameters of the atoms. In YbAg2ln4 the smaller silver and indium atoms are ordered, thus, it represents a temaiy ordered superstmcture of the binary ones. However, there is a difference between the binary compounds in YCdg one cadmium atom occupies the 24g site by about one third, and in... 

Silicides are binary compounds of metals and silicon. Formulas are difficult to predict, and the bizarre stoichiometries often appear to be the reaction products found on freshman examinations. Silicides of most representative metals except beryllium are known, and most of the transition elements except silver, gold, and a few others form various silicides. The heavy metals mercury, thallium, lead, and bismuth do not react with silicon indeed, the molten metals are not even miscible with liquid silicon. 

It has been demonstrated that the classical equihbiimn defect chemical concepts derived for binary compounds can be apphed to ternary and multinary compoimds. In the case of multicomponent materials, the space charge effects will become very important in cases in which the dimensions are no longer large compared with the thickness of the space charge layers, as in extremely thin films or in stractirral and functional ceramics with crystallites of nanometer dimensiorts. The formation of latent images in silver halide photography represents a prelude to effects of point defects in nanostractured materials, and is related to enlarged concentrations of point defects in botmdary layers.

Consequent potentiometric titration of osmium(IV) and laithenium (IV) in their mixtures has been canied out in broad range of concentrations from 1 mkg to 200 mkg in samples of 20 ml. It has been shown the possibility of amperemetric determination of osmium(VI) in binary and triple systems with silver(I), platinum(IV), palladium(II), gold(III), founded on formation of corresponding compounds with dimerkaptotiopiron, having a different solubility. The deteriuination of Os(VI) is possible under tenfold - hundredfold excess of above mentioned metals. 

The next five chapters deal with deposition of specific groups of semiconductors. In Chapter 4, II-VI Semiconductors, all the sulphides, selenides, and (what little there is on) tellurides of cadmium (most of the chapter), zinc (a substantial part), and mercury (a small part). (Oxides are left to a later chapter.) This chapter is, understandably, a large one, due mainly to the large amount of work carried out on CdS and to a lesser extent on CdSe. Chapter 5, PbS and PbSe, provides a separate forum for PbS and PbSe, which provided much of the focus for CD in earlier years. The remaining sulphides and selenides are covered in Chapter 6, Other Sulphides and Selenides. There are many of these compounds, thus, this is a correspondingly large chapter. Chapter 7, Oxides and Other Semiconductors, is devoted mainly to oxides and some hydroxides, as well as to miscellaneous semiconductors that have only been scantily studied (elemental selenium and silver halides). These previous chapters have been limited to binary semiconductors, made up of two elements (with the exception of elemental Se). Chapter 8, Ternary Semiconductors, extends this list to semiconductors composed of three elements, whether two different metals (most of the studies) or two different chalcogens. 

CARBIDES. A binary solid compound of carbon and another element. The most familiar carbides are those of calcium, tungsten, silicon, boron, and iron (cemcntitc) Two factors have an important bearing on the properties of carbides (1) the difference in electronegativity between carbon and the second elemenl. and (2) whether the second element is a transition metal. Saltlike carbides of alkali metals are obtained by reaction with acetylene. Those ohlained from silver, copper, and mercury sails are explosive. See also Carbon and Iron Metals, Alloys, and Steels.
