Talk:Silver(II) fluoride
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would expect the following reaction to be possible: 2AgF2 + heat --> 2AgF + F2. If so it would make a nice way to easily prepare fluorine gas, and should be listed here and in the fluorine article. But is it possible? I'm not going to add it without knowing it is, obviously.... RobertAustin 11:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC) (High School Chemistry Teacher)
- I wondered the same thing and looked it up. AgF2 serves as a source of "F" in fluorinations of hydrocarbons, but I dont know the temp at which it releases F2. It melts at 690C, so the release of F2 does not occur under mild conditions. Silver fluorides are all strange - AgF forms a hydrate, and then there is Ag2F.--Smokefoot 17:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
