The first measured Ag I, Ag II and Ag III Stark broadening parameters

The Stark widths (W) and shifts (d) of two neutral (520.908 and 546.550 nm), eleven singly (211.382, 224.643, 224.874, 232.029, 232.468, 233.140, 241.141, 241.323, 243.781, 244.793 and 276.754 nm) and three doubly (216.189, 231.004 and 239.569 nm) ionized silver (Ag I, Ag II and Ag III, respectively) spectral lines have been measured in nitrogen plasma at about 18,000 K electron temperature and electron density ranged between 0.65 × 10²³ and 1.15 × 10²³ m^− 3. They are the first measured W and d values while those of the Ag II and Ag III lines are the first published data in these spectra.

An agreement with theoretical predictions was found.     

Ag nanoparticles from the mechanochemical decomposition of Ag oxalate

The present work focuses on the chemical reactivity of Ag oxalate powders under mechanical processing conditions. The powders were submitted to mechanical loads in the presence of an aqueous solution containing a polymeric surfactant. A gradual decrease of the total mass of powders was observed, ascribable to the occurrence of a decomposition process. X-ray diffraction and UV-vis spectrophotometric analyses indicated that the Ag oxalate decomposes into metallic Ag and gaseous carbon dioxide. Transmission electron microscopy showed that metallic Ag exists in the form of particles with average size of about 5 nm. The formation of nanometer-sized Ag particles can be related to the plastic deformation and attrition processes taking place at the points of contacts between neighboring particles during the mechanical loading at collision.     

Disc-Like Silver Nanocluster Ag93 Built with Bicapped Hexagonal Prismatic Ag15 and Ino Decahedral Ag13 Units

The reduction of alkynyl-silver and phosphine-silver precursors with a weak reducing reagent Ph₂SiH₂ led to the formation of a novel silver nanocluster [Ag₉₃(PPh₃)₆(C≡CR)₅₀]³⁺ (R=4-CH₃OC₆H₄), which is the largest structurally characterized cluster of clusters. This disc-shaped cluster has a Ag₆₉ kernel consisting of a bicapped hexagonal prismatic Ag₁₅ unit wrapped by six Ino decahedra through edge-sharing. This is the first time that Ino decahedra are used as a building block to assemble a cluster of clusters. Moreover, the central silver atom has a coordination number of 14, which is the highest in metal nanoclusters. This work provides a diverse metal packing pattern in metal nanoclusters, which is helpful for understanding metal cluster assembling mechanisms.     

Real and Hypothetical Intermediate-Valence Ag(II)/Ag(III) and Ag(II)/Ag(I) Fluoride Systems as Potential Superconductors

With the aim of gauging their potential as conducting or superconducting materials, we examine the crystal structures and magnetic properties of the roughly one hundred binary, ternary, and quaternary Ag(II) and Ag(III) fluorides in the solid state reported up to date. The Ag(II) cation appears in these species usually in a distorted octahedral environment, either in an [AgF](+) infinite chain or as [AgF(2)] sheets. Sometimes one finds discrete square-planar [AgF(4)](2-) ions. The Ag(III) cation occurs usually in the form of isolated square-planar [AgF(4)](-) ions. Systems containing Ag(III) (d(8)) centers are typically diamagnetic. On the other hand, the rich spectrum of Ag(II) (d(9)) environments in binary and ternary fluorides leads to most diverse magnetic properties, ranging from paramagnetism, through temperature-independent paramagnetism (characteristic for half-filled band and metallic behavior) and antiferromagnetism, to weak ferromagnetism. Ag(II) and Ag(III) have the same d-electron count as Cu(II) (d(9)) and Cu(III) (d(8)), respectively. F(-) and O(2-) ions are isoelectronic, closed-shell (s(2)p(6)) species; both are weak-field ligands. Led by these similarities, and by some experimental evidence, we examine analogies between the superconducting cuprates (Cu(II)/Cu(III)-O(2-) and Cu(II)/Cu(I)-O(2-) systems) and the formally mixed-valence Ag(II)/Ag(III)-F(-) and Ag(II)/Ag(I)-F(-) phases. For this purpose we perform electronic-structure computations for a number of structurally characterized binary and ternary Ag(I), Ag(II), and Ag(III) fluorides and compare the results with similar calculations for oxocuprate superconductors. Electronic levels in the vicinity of the Fermi level (x(2)-y(2) or z(2)) have usually strongly mixed Ag(d)/F(p) character and are Ag-F antibonding, thus providing the potential of efficient vibronic coupling (typical for d(9) systems with substantially covalent bonds). According to our computations this is the result not only of a coincidence in orbital energies; surprisingly the Ag-F bonding is substantially covalent in Ag(II) and Ag(III) fluorides. The electron density of state at the Fermi level (DOS(F)) for silver fluoride materials and frequencies of the metal-ligand stretching modes have values close to those for copper oxides. The above features suggest that properly hole- or electron-doped Ag(II) fluorides might be good BCS-type superconductors. We analyze a comproportionation/disproportionation equilibrium in the hole-doped Ag(II) fluorides, and the possible appearance of holes in the F(p) band. It seems that there is a chance of generating an Ag(III)-F(-)/Ag(II)-F(0) "ionic/covalent" curve crossing in the hole-doped Ag(II)-F(-) fluorides, significantly increasing vibronic coupling.     

Structural variation of silver clusters from Ag13 to Ag160

The structures of silver clusters from Ag(121) to Ag(160) were optimized with a modified dynamic lattice searching (DLS) method, named as DLS with constructed core (DLSc). The interaction among silver atoms is modeled by the Gupta potential. Structural characteristic of silver clusters with the growth of cluster size is investigated with the newly optimized structures and our previous results from Ag(13) to Ag(120). A set of amorphous structures was obtained in the size range of 13-48, together with several ordered structures. The putative stable motif is an icosahedron from Ag(49) to Ag(61) and then changes to a decahedron in the size range of 62-160. Some of the results are consistent with experiments. Furthermore, it was also found that, for clusters with decahedral motif, the stable structure is a result of the competition among the different Marks decahedral motifs. On the other hand, different from the Lennard-Jones cluster, there are some silver clusters with the face-centered cubic (fcc) motif in the size range of 13-160. But the fcc motif can only be obtained for some specific sizes.     

Migration of Ag in low-temperature Ag2S from first principles

Using the density-functional theory combined with the nudged elastic band method, we have calculated migration pathways and estimated the activation energy barriers for the diffusion of Ag ions in low-temperature Ag2S. The activation energy barriers for four essential migrations for an Ag ion, namely, from a tetrahedral (T) site to an adjacent T vacancy (VT), from an octahedral (O) site to an adjacent O vacancy (VO), from T to VO, and from O to VT, are estimated as 0.461, 0.668, 0.212, and 0.318 eV, respectively, which are comparable to experimental values. This means that diffusions of Ag ions between nonequivalent sites are preferable to those between equivalent sites, and that direct T-VT and O-VO diffusions are less likely to occur than indirect T-VO-T and O-VT-O diffusions. These diffusion behaviors between nonequivalent sites have also been supported by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, in which the diffusion pathways are directly observed.     

Cross-Coupling through Ag(I)/Ag(III) Redox Manifold

In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e⁻ redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through Ag^I/Ag^III redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy Ag^I/Ag^III 2e⁻ oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to Ag^III; iii) boron-to-Ag^III aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-Ag^III-CF₃] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]⁺[Ag^III(CF₃)₄]⁻ ( K-1 ), [(bpy)Ag^III(CF₃)₃] ( 2 ) and [(phen)Ag^III(CF₃)₃] ( 3 ), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [Ag^III(aryl)(CF₃)₃]⁻ intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.     

Phase equilibria in the Ag2Te-ZnTe and Ag2Te-Zn systems

The state diagrams (T-x) of the systems Ag₂Te-ZnTe(I) and Ag₂Te-Zn(II) are offered on the ground of data obtained by differential thermal analysis, X-ray phase analysis, microstructural analysis and measurements of the density and the microhardness of samples synthesized. The systems studied are quasibinary sections of the ternary system Ag-Zn-Te. System I is characterized by two eutectic and three eutectoidal non-variant equilibria as well as by an intermediate compound Ag₂ZnTe₂, which melts congruently at 880°C. The latter exists in the range from 120 to 880°C in two polymorphic modifications (T_ʅ→β=515°C). System II is characterized by one eutectic, two eutectoidal and one peritectic nonvariant equilibria, boundary solid solutions on the ground of Ag₂Te and Zn and one intermediate phase of the composition Ag₄Zn₃Te₂, which melts congruently at 880°C.     

Ligand and counterion control of Ag(I) architectures: assembly of a {Ag8} ring cluster mediated by hydrophobic and Ag...Ag interactions

A strategy combining ligand design and counterion variation has been used to investigate the assembly of silver(I) complexes. As a result, dinuclear, octanuclear, and polymeric silver(I) species have been synthesized by complexation of the rigid aliphatic amino ligands cis-3,5-diamino-trans-hydroxycyclohexane (DAHC), cis-3,5-diamino-trans-methoxycyclohexane (DAMC), and cis-3,5-diamino-trans-tert-butyldimethylsilylanyloxycyclohexane (DATC) with silver(I) triflate, nitrate, and perchlorate. The compositions of these aggregates, established by X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis, are [{Ag(DAHC)}2](CF3SO3)2 (1), [{Ag(DAMC)}2](CF3SO3)2 (2), [{Ag(DAMC)}2](NO3)2 (3), [{Ag(DATC)}6{Ag(DAHC)}2](NO3)8 (4), and [{Ag(DATC}n](NO3)n (5), where the DAHC present in 4 is formed by in situ hydrolysis of the acid labile silyl ether group. The type of aggregate formed depends both upon the noncoordinating O-substituent of the ligand and the (also noncoordinating) counterion, with the normal preference of the ligand topology for forming Ag2L2 structures being broken by introduction of the bulky, lipophilic O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group. Of particular note is the octanuclear silver ring structure 4, which is isolated only when both the O-TBDMS group and the nitrate counteranion are present and is formed from four Ag2L2 dimers connected by Ag...Ag and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Diffusion rate measurement of this {Ag8} complex by 1H NMR (DOSY) indicates dissociation in CD3OD and CD3CN, showing that this supramolecular ring structure is formed upon crystallization, and establishing a qualitative limit to the strength of Ag...Ag interactions in solution. When solutions of the {Ag8} cluster in methanol are kept for several days though, a new UV-vis absorption is observed at around 430 nm, consistent with the formation of silver nanoparticles.
