Xenon Hexafluoride Complexes

Henry Selig 1

1 Chemistry Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois

Xenon hexafluoride reacts with BF3 and AsF5 to form 1:1 adducts which are white solids with vapor pressures of less than 1 millimeter at room temperature. The XeF6 · BF3 adduct melts at 90°C to a pale yellow viscous liquid.
