}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 AgII and AgIII fluorides in the solid state reported up to date. The AgII cation appears in these species usually in a distorted octahedral environment, either in an [AgF]+ infinite chain or as [AgF2 ] sheets. Sometimes one finds discrete square-planar [AgF4 ]2- ions. The AgIII cation occurs…

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 suggest that properly hole- or electron-doped Ag( II) fluoride might be good BCS-type superconducting materials.

Calculations using the hybrid HSE06 functional of magnetic superexchange constants, J, for a series of low-dimensional CuII and AgII binary and ternary systems with fluoride and oxide ligands find that [AgF][BF4 ], a quasi-1D system with linear infinite [AgII F+ ] chains, is predicted to exhibit an unprecedented strong AFM superezchange via one atom (F).

Thorough inspection of thermal ellipsoids of the fluorine atoms closest to Ag centres reveals their unusual shape, indicating that silver atoms must in fact have different local coordination spheres; this is not immediately apparent from the crystal structure due to static disorder of fluoride atoms.
On possible existence of pseudobinary mixed valence fluorides of Ag(I) / Ag(II): a DFT study

DFT calculations performed within local density approximation disclose conceivable existence of two novel mixed–valence Ag(I)/Ag(II) fluorides, Ag2F3 and Ag3F4, which are at the verge of thermodynamic stability and a handful of exothermic reactions have been proposed which could yield these as yet unknown compounds.

Using X-ray diffraction and guided by theoretical calculations, crystal structures of high-pressure polymorphs of AgF2 are elucidated and the transition from ambient pressure to an unprecedented nanotubular structure takes place via an intermediate orthorhombic layered structure, which lacks an inversion center.

A comprehensive study of structure and magnetism in the layered Ag(II) fluoride Cs2AgF4 is presented, using magnetic susceptometry, inelastic neutron scattering techniques and both X-ray and neutron powder diffraction, and suggests that orbital ordering may be the origin of the ferromagnetism observed in this material.
