Silver(I) Perchlorate

[7783-93-9] AgClO4 (MW 207.32) InChI = 1S/Ag.ClHO4/c;2-1(3,4)5/h;(H,2,3,4,5)/q+1;/p-1 InChIKey = YDHABVNRCBNRNZ-UHFFFAOYSA-M (cyclization, dehydration, glycosylation, rearrangement of strained systems, solvolysis of halides) Physical Data: mp 486 °C (dec); d 2.806 g cm−3.2 Solubility: sol aniline, benzene, chlorobenzene, ethanol, glycerol, nitrobenzene, nitromethane, pyridine, toluene, water.2, 3 Form Supplied in: white crystalline anhydride; white crystalline monohydrate [14242-05-8]. Purification: dissolve 1g of the monohydrate per 6mL of benzene and heat at reflux under Dean–Stark conditions until the water is removed. Allow to cool and dilute with 4 mL of pentane per gram of the perchlorate. Filter the precipitate and place it in a desiccator containing P2O5 under high vacuum (1 mmHg) for 24 h.4 Handling, Storage, and Precautions: the anhydrous crystal readily forms the monohydrate, which is stable up to 43 °C and therefore should be stored in a desiccator. The salt is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, corrosive, shock sensitive, and can be explosive in the presence of organic compounds.3, 4
