Title: Structural features of Ag[AuF{sub 4}] and Ag[AuF{sub 6}] and the structural relationship of Ag[AgF{sub 4}]{sub 2} and Au[AuF{sub 4}]{sub 2} to Ag[AuF{sub 4}]{sub 2}

Synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction data (SPDD) have been obtained for Ag[AgF{sub 4}]{sub 2}, Au[AuF{sub 4}]{sub 2}, Ag[AuF{sub 4}], and Ag[AuF{sub 6}]. Ag[AgF{sub 4}]{sub 2} and Au[AuF{sub 4}]{sub 2} are isostructural with Ag[AuF{sub 4}]{sub 2}. The structure of Ag[AgF{sub 4}]{sub 2} was refined successfully (SPDD) applying the Rietveld method, yielding interatomic distances ({angstrom}), other AA{prime}F{sub 4} salts (A = Na-Rb; A{prime} = Ag, Au), crystallizes in the KBrF{sub 4} structure type. SPDD gave (in {angstrom}) four Au{sup III}-F = 1.89(1) and eight Ag{sup 1}-F = 2.577(7). SPDD for AgAuF{sub 6} confirmed that it has the LiSbF{sub 6} structure.
