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.[1]

Synthesis

[edit]

Xenon hexafluororhodate is produced by the direct combination of xenon and rhodium hexafluoride:[3]

Xe + RhF6 → XeRhF6
