Silver cyanide

This is the same as the structure adopted by the high temperature polymorph of copper(I) cyanide.

Silver cyanide is also soluble in solutions containing other ligands such as ammonia or tertiary phosphines.

Silver cyanides form structurally complex materials upon reaction with other anions.

Partial purification of silver compounds is usually effected by froth flotation.

The silver ion is then separated from the skimmed froth with cyanide, yielding a solution of [Ag(CN)2]−.
