Silver perchlorate monohydrate is a silver salt of perchloric acid. It is used as an antibacterial agent, biocide, and preservative in the food industry. Silver perchlorate monohydrate has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth and activity by binding to DNA at a site that inhibits the synthesis of proteins. Silver ions also have an effect on mammalian cells by inhibiting protein synthesis, which is due to their ability to form covalent bonds with amino acids. The structure of silver perchlorate monohydrate was determined using X-ray crystallography, and it consists of alternating layers of chloride ions and nonpolar hydrocarbons. This compound can be synthesized from hydrochloric acid and silver nitrate solution in the presence of a particle such as sand or talc. The cleavage products are chloroform and hydrogen peroxide, which are produced when silver perchlorate monohydrate is heated at high temperatures.
