Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of Diphenylargentate, [(C6H5)2Ag](.).
We present the structural and optical properties of the isolated diphenylargentate anion, which has been synthesized by multistage mass spectrometry in a quadrupole ion trap. The experimental photodetachment spectrum has been obtained by action spectroscopy. Comparison with quantum chemical calculations of the electronic absorption spectrum allows for a precise characterization of the spectroscopic features, showing that in the low-energy regime, the optical properties of diphenylargentate bear a significant resemblance to those of atomic silver.
