Silver(I,III) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula AgO. It is a component of silver oxide-zinc alkaline batteries. It can be prepared by the slow addition of a silver(I) salt to a persulfate solution e.g. AgNO3 to a Na2S2O8 solution.[1] It adopts an unusual structure, being a mixed-valence compound.[2]

Structure

The empirical formula AgO might suggest that silver is in the +2 oxidation state, however, AgO is diamagnetic. X-ray diffraction studies show that silver atoms adopt two different coordination environments, one having two collinear oxide neighbours and the other four coplanar oxide neighbours.[1]. AgO is therefore formulated as AgIAgIIIO2[3] or Ag2O·Ag2O3. It is also known as silver peroxide, although it does not have peroxide (O22−) anions.
