Abstract

The reaction behavior of xenon difluoride, XeF2, toward HN3 (NaN3) and HNCO (NaOCN) was investigated in H2O, aHF (anhydrous HF), and SO2ClF solution, and the analysis of the final reaction products indicated the intermediate formation of FXe (N3) and FXe (NCO). Both intermediates, FXe (N3) and FXe (NCO), were studied on the basis of ab initio computations at HF and correlated MP2 levels.
