Ag5GeO4, das erste subvalente ternäre Silberoxid

Ag₅GeO₄, the First Subvalent Ternary Silver Oxide Applying high oxygen pressure the first subvalent ternary silver oxide Ag₅GeO₄ was obtained (for crystallographic data c.f. “Inhaltsübersicht”). Ag₅GeO₄ contains tetrahedral GeO₄^4?-ions besides Ag₆]⁴⁺ clusters, which have not been observed in ternary silver oxides, so far. The electrical and magnetical properties prove the localisation of two paired electrons in each silver octahedron. The thermal decomposition occurs in two steps at 432.7 °C and 524.5°C.
