Silver dichromate is a chemical compound with the formula Ag2Cr2O7. It is insoluble in water and decomposes when treated with hot water. Its anion has a charge of -2.
Synthesis
Silver dichromate can be precipitated by reacting potassium dichromate with silver nitrate:
- K2Cr2O7 + 2 AgNO3 → Ag2Cr2O7 + 2 KNO3
Nanostructures can be produced via a sonochemical method using silver salicylate and ammonium dichromate as precursors.[1]
Applications
Related complexes are used as oxidants in organic chemistry.[2] For instance, tetrakis(pyridine)silver dichromate, [Ag2(py)4]2+[Cr2O7]2−, is used to convert benzylic and allylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds.[3]
Dichromate solutions containing silver ions have been investigated for use in dosimetry.[4][5]
