what is swartz reaction?

Solution: 
 

In the Swartz reaction, alkyl chlorides or bromides react with metallic fluorides like AgF, Hg2F2, CoF2, and SbF3 to form alkyl fluorides.
Here, iodine forms Higher metal halide therefore it is not used in swarts reaction.
Actually in the Swartz reaction higher alkyl halide (R-Cl) reacts with a lower metal halide(AgF) to form lower alkyl halide (R-F).

R-X + AgF ---> R-F + Ag-X

X=Cl,Br
