Mechanochemical Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of the Mixed-Valent Binary Silver(I,II) Fluorides, Ag^I₂Ag^IIF₄ and Ag^IAg^IIF₃.

ABSTRACT: Fluoridoargentates(II) represent a fascinating class of silver(II) compounds with structural and magnetic similarities to cuprate superconductors. However, their synthesis is challenging, leaving their properties largely underexplored and hindering the discovery of new phases. This study introduces mechanochemistry as a novel approach for the synthesis of fluoridoargentates(II), avoiding the use of anhydrous HF or elemental fluorine and employing readily available equipment. Notably, ball milling of commercially available precursors successfully produced the long-sought-after first two examples of binary mixed-valent silver(I,II) phases, Ag^I₂Ag^IIF₄ (Ag₃F₄) and Ag^IAg^IIF₃ (Ag₂F₃
