In spite of the predictions of stable noble gas compounds since at least 1902, unsuccessful attempts at their synthesis gave rise to the widely held opinion that noble gases are not only noble but also insert. It was not until 1962 that this dogma was shattered when Bartlett in Canada Published the first stable noble gas compound XePtF6. This discovery triggered a worldwide frenzy in this area & within a short time span many new xenon, radon & krypton compounds were prepared and characterized. The recent discoveries show the ability of xenon to act as ligand. The discovery by Seppelt’s group that more than one xenon atom attach itself to a metal center which in the case of gold leads to Surprisingly stable Au-Xe Bonds. The bonding in [AuXe4]2+ involves 4Xe ligands attached by relatively strong bonds to a single Au(II) centre in a square planar arrangement with a Xe-Au bond length of about 274pm. This discovery provides not only the first example of multiple xenon bond.
A) Choose the correct option.
I. In the complex ion [AuXe4]2+, Xe acts as: a. Central atom b. Ligand c. Chelating agent d. Electrophile II. Hybridisation shown by Au in [AuXe4]2+ is: a. sp3 b. sp3d c. sp3d2 d. sp2 III. Compound of noble gases except ______________ are known. a. Krypton b. Radon c. Helium d. Xenon IV. Xe is a ___________ ligand. a. Ambidentate b. Bidentate c. Unidentate d. Hexadentate V. Name the central atom and legand in complex ion [AuXe 4]2+
