Before 1962:
• all noble gases are inert
• weakly bonded species
• gaseous cationic species: diatomic molecules between
noble gas atoms or other atoms (H, O, N, Hg)
• very short lifetimes
1962, Bartlett and Lohmann:
• demonstrated the great oxidizing strength of PtF6 in producing
O2+PtF6-
• IP(Xe) ≈ IP(O2)
RT
Xe + PtF6 XePtF6 + Xe(PtF 6)2
- dependent on reactant ratio
- red-tinged yellow solid
Physical Properties Noble gases
• The atoms of chlorine and other halogens are much larger than
fluorine, so attraction energy for (LN)+L- ion pair is much less.
• Xenon Fluorides
• readily prepared from the elements
• thermodynamically stable
• XeF2
• XeF4
• XeF6
• not known: XeF8
Xenon difluoride , XeF2
Properties:
Xe + 3F2 XeF6
2. It can also be obtained by the oxidation of XeF4 with O2F2 under
pressure.
