The chemistry of krypton is much more limited Hum that of xenon. Apparently only the difluonde forms directly from the elements. Attempts to make helium, neon, and argon fluorides have been unsuccessful. Radon should react even more readily than xenon, but its chemistry is complicated by the difficulty of working with a...

Since Ar has an I value lower than that of F, it is not unreasonable to expect that argon fluorides will be synthesized soon. Recently HArF was detected in a photodissociation study of HF in an Ar environment (see Section 5.8.1). With infrared spectroscopic studies of species such as H40ArF, D40ArF, and H36ArF, it was determined that the bond lengths of H-Ar and F-Ar are 133 and 197 pm, respectively. As of now, He and Ne are the only two elements that do not form any stable compounds. 

By comparison, the photolysis of Me4Ge with an argon fluoride laser at 193 nm yields trimethylgermane, ethane, methane, ethylene and layers of Ge as the end products209. These results have been interpreted as indicative of electronically excited Me4Ge undergoing preferential molecular elimination (equations 37a and 37b) over the dissociation shown in equation 36.
