Talk:Silver(I,III) oxide

Misnomer
How exactly is this a peroxide? --Belg4mit 01:10, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The link's dead too. Here's a citation:
 * "On the Valence of Silver in Argentic Oxide". Naval Ordnance Lab, White Oak, MD. (1964)
 * Abstract: The results of a literature survey on the valence of silver in argentic oxide (AgO) are presented. Physical and chemical evidence indicates the presence of both trivalent and monovalent silver in argentic oxide, but no divalent silver.

post about the multivalent compound (BTW, AgO2 would be silver ozonide.): some more:

Silver peroxide or silver(I) peroxide would be AgO or Ag2O2. Many authors mistake silver(I,III) oxide for silver peroxide. WebElements lists AgO for the former rather than Ag2OAg2O3. -lysdexia 01:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
