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.

  • Xenon Iron Oxides Predicted As Potential Xe Hosts in Earth’S Lower Mantle
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19107-y OPEN Xenon iron oxides predicted as potential Xe hosts in Earth’s lower mantle ✉ Feng Peng 1,2,8, Xianqi Song 3,4,8, Chang Liu4,5,6, Quan Li 3,4,5,6 , Maosheng Miao 2, ✉ ✉ Changfeng Chen 7 & Yanming Ma 3,4,5 An enduring geological mystery concerns the missing xenon problem, referring to the abnormally low concentration of xenon compared to other noble gases in Earth’s atmosphere. 1234567890():,; Identifying mantle minerals that can capture and stabilize xenon has been a great challenge in materials physics and xenon chemistry. Here, using an advanced crystal structure search algorithm in conjunction with first-principles calculations we find reactions of xenon with recently discovered iron peroxide FeO2, forming robust xenon-iron oxides Xe2FeO2 and XeFe3O6 with significant Xe-O bonding in a wide range of pressure-temperature conditions corresponding to vast regions in Earth’s lower mantle. Calculated mass density and sound velocities validate Xe-Fe oxides as viable lower-mantle constituents. Meanwhile, Fe oxides do not react with Kr, Ar and Ne. It means that if Xe exists in the lower mantle at the same pressures as FeO2, xenon-iron oxides are predicted as potential Xe hosts in Earth’s lower mantle and could provide the repository for the atmosphere’s missing Xe. These findings establish robust materials basis, formation mechanism, and geological viability of these Xe-Fe oxides, which advance fundamental knowledge for understanding xenon chemistry and physics mechanisms for the possible deep-Earth Xe reservoir. 1 College of Physics and Electronic Information & Henan Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Transformation and Detection, Luoyang Normal University, 471022 Luoyang, China.

  • Coordination Chemistry of Xenon
    Coordination Chemistry of Xenon Paul Griffin Literature Seminar 11/14/19 Situated on the far side of the periodic table, the chemical inertness of the noble gases has led to their widespread applications ranging from gas-discharge lamps and ion engines for space travel to medical applications including as MRI contrast agents and radiotherapy.1 Though all practical applications of the noble gases center around Xe (0), understanding the reactivity and bonding of xenon in higher oxidation states is fundamental to investigating chemistry at the far end of the periodic table. The reactivity of the noble gases, in particular xenon, was first uncovered when Bartlett, who had previously prepared dioxygenyl hexafluoroplatinate (V) (O2PtF6), noted similar ionization energies for molecular oxygen and atomic xenon (a difference of 0.1 eV).2 Mixing of xenon with PtF6 vapor led to the formation of an orange-yellow solid led to the synthesis of the first noble gas compound, xenon hexafluoroplatinate (V) (XePtF6). The chemistry of xenon has evolved significantly since its’ discovery to include an assortment of xenon fluorides, oxides, oxylfluorides, organoxenon3, and metalloxenon compounds such as the tetraxenoaurate (II) cation (Figure 1).4 These species have weak covalent bonding between Xe and the oxygen/fluorine moieties.5 The chemistry of xenon is dominated by the 2+, 4+, and 6+ oxidation states, though Xe (VIII) compounds are known in the form of perxenates and xenon tetroxide. These primarily ionic species, particularly the oxides, oxylfluorides, and fluorides, serve as precursors to noncovalent adducts of xenon. Figure 1. Organoxenon and metalloxenon species Recent work has led to the preparation of xenon adducts with noncovalently interacting ligands such as acetonitrile6a, 6b, ketones6c, sulfoxides6c, and crown ethers6d (Figure 2) capable of weakly coordinating to xenon salts to afford stable species at room temperature.

The six naturally occurring noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and the radioactive radon. Chemistry of Xenon (Xe) Xenon (Xe), chemical element, a heavy and extremely rare gas of Group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic table. It was the first noble gas found to form true chemical compounds. More than 4.5 times heavier than air, xenon is colourless, odourless, and tasteless. Solid xenon belongs to the face-centred cubic crystal system, which implies that its molecules, which consist of single atoms, behave as spheres packed together as closely as possible. The name xenon is derived from the Greek word xenos, “strange” or “foreign.” Compounds of Xenon Not all the noble gases combine with oxygen and fluorine. Only the heavier noble gases like Xe (larger atomic radius) will react with oxygen and fluorine. Noble gas form compounds with oxygen and fluorine only because they are most electronegative elements. So they can ionise Xenon easily. 1.Xenon Fluorides: Xenon forms three fluorides, XeF2, XeF4 and XeF6. These can be obtained by the direct interaction between xenon and fluorine under appropriate experimental conditions, XeF2, XeF4 and XeF6 are colourless crystalline solids and sublime readily at 298 K. They are powerful fluorinating agents.

Abstract A method for trapping radioactive xenon waste from nuclear medical departments has been investigated. Adsorption of xenon on activated charcoal was found to be an effi- cient trapping method. A large gain in capacity was found when the trap was refrigera- ted, and permitted a large number of patient investigations before break-through of xenon occurred. By heating charcoal traps to 250-350°C, adsorbed xenon gas is freed and is thus made available for re-use. A technique for room-air monitoring of xenon-leakage from patient investigations is described, where the room-air is continously pumped through a small charcoal filter, mounted close to a detector.
