Xenon forms stable compound with fluorine

Claassen, H. H.·Malm, J. G.·Selig, H. H.

Abstract

Experiments show that xenon and fluorine combine readily at 400 deg C to form xenon tetrafluoride, which is colorless, crystalline, chemically stable and solid at room temperature. This process can be used for the separation of xenon from mixtures with other noble gases.
