We used 3D electron diffraction to elucidate the crystal structures of XePt₂F₁₀ and XePd₂F₁₀. Based on these findings, we propose structural models for the first noble-gas compound, XePtF₆.

Crystal Structures of XeF2·2PtF4 and XeF2·2PdF4 Determined by 3D Electron Diffraction and Structural Models of XePtF6
Although the demonstration of noble-gas reactivity represents one of the most significant breakthroughs of 20th-century inorganic chemistry, the first noble-gas compound, XePtF6 (XeF2·PtF4), lacks com...
