These elements have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 electrons in their outer most shell, respectively. The last electron of these groups’ elements occupies the position in p – sub shell that is why are added as p – block elements. Their general configuration is ns2np1-6.

    molecules Review Noble Gas Bonding Interactions Involving Xenon Oxides and Fluorides Antonio Frontera Department of Chemistry, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Crta de valldemossa km 7.5, 07122 Palma de Mallorca (Baleares), Spain; [email protected] Academic Editor: Felice Grandinetti Received: 17 July 2020; Accepted: 27 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Noble gas (or aerogen) bond (NgB) can be outlined as the attractive interaction between an electron-rich atom or group of atoms and any element of Group-18 acting as an electron acceptor. The IUPAC already recommended systematic nomenclature for the interactions of groups 17 and 16 (halogen and chalcogen bonds, respectively). Investigations dealing with noncovalent interactions involving main group elements (acting as Lewis acids) have rapidly grown in recent years. They are becoming acting players in essential fields such as crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, and catalysis. For obvious reasons, the works devoted to the study of noncovalent Ng-bonding interactions are significantly less abundant than halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonding. Nevertheless, in this short review, relevant theoretical and experimental investigations on noncovalent interactions involving Xenon are emphasized. Several theoretical works have described the physical nature of NgB and their interplay with other noncovalent interactions, which are discussed herein. Moreover, exploring the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD), it is demonstrated that NgB interactions are crucial in governing the X-ray packing of xenon derivatives. Concretely, special attention is given to xenon fluorides and xenon oxides, since they exhibit a strong tendency to establish NgBs. Keywords: noble gas interactions; noncovalent interactions; crystal packing; xenon 1.

Methods for preparation of xenon tetrafluoride, which have been published up to now, yield product which are usually contamined by xenon difluoride and hexafluoride. The main problem of the purification of xenon tetrafluoride is the removal of traces of difluoride. So far, only one method for chemical purifi­ cation of XeFi, has been published. For the preparation of pure xenon tetrafluoride the thermal dissociation of hexafluoride can be employed. As we have reported earlier, it proceeded according to the following equation: XeF6 «•"* XeFi, + F2. Xenon tetrafluoride of purity bether than 99 vt> was obtained by dissociation of the compound formed between sodium fluoride and xenon hexafluoride, published elsewhere, at 300 C. The possibility of the removal of traces of XeF2 observed in products thus obtained, using cobalt difluoride will be dis­ cussed. The purity of XeFi, was determined by checking its melting point and infrared spectra of vapours.
