Taming of the silver FOX

J Am Chem Soc. 2010 Jul 7;132(26):8888-90. doi: 10.1021/ja103935q.

Abstract

The first silver-FOX, silver-ammonia-FOX, and silver-amine-FOX compounds were synthesized by the reactions of silver nitrate with K-FOX or guanidine-FOX in water, aqueous ammonia, and amines, respectively. The crystal structure of silver-ammonia-FOX exhibits unique covalent bonding behavior, which is supported by NBO calculations.
