Silver(II) fluorides are represented by over a hundred distinct stoichiometries, and rich crystal chemistry, but due to their high reactivity they are often viewed as exotic even by chemists. The interest in these materials from solid state physics and materials point of view stems from extremely strong magnetic superexchange interactions which they may host, substantial magnetic anisotropy, as well as possibility of generating superconductivity in two-dimensional fluoroargentate(II) systems, as outlined in a recent contribution. The new experimental and theoretical findings for selected silver(II) fluorides will be presented in this talk, combining both chemistry and physics perspectives.
