F-O-Xe Compounds

These compounds were dealt with in Edelgasverbindungen 1970, pp. 93/101. More recently, graphite intercalation compounds of XeOp4 [1] and reactions of XeOp4 with KrF [2] were studied. 

Ab initio SCF calculations with an STO basis indicate a pyramidal structure of the ion with an apical H atom total energy Ej=-273.7362 a.u. The inversion barrier is given as 18.1 kcal/mol. The internuclear distances and bond angles are r(O-F) = 1.355 A, r(0-H) = 0.995 A, FOH = 105.1°, and FOF = 106.0°. For the planar configuration parameters, see the original paper.
