Xenon hexafluororhodate explained

Xenon hexafluororhodate (XeRhF6) is a deep-red noble gas compound first synthesised in 1963 by Neil Bartlett.[1] [2] [3] It is analogous to xenon hexafluoroplatinate.

Synthesis

Xenon hexafluororhodate is produced by the direct combination of xenon and rhodium hexafluoride:

Xe + RhF6 → XeRhF6
