Aromatic Complexes of silver(I) triflate

The silver salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (silver(I) triflate) forms complexes with aromatics whose solid state stoichiometries involve two salt units per organic, as does the copper analog. Both show a similar preference for p-xylene among the eight carbon aromatic isomers, indicative of isomorphic structures. The two Ib systems are contrasted in their behavior as slurries with aromatics.
