In 1962 the first chemical noble gas compound, formulated as XePtFg, was synthesized by Neil Bartlett. This result spurred intense research activity and led to the discovery of numerous xenon and krypton compounds. In 2000 the formation of the first argon compound, argon fluorohydride (HArF), was reported by Leonid Khriachtchev and colleagues, see also Argon Cavendish, Henry Helium Krypton Neon Ramsay, William Ruthereord, Ernest Soddy, Frederick Strutt, John Xenon. 

Leonid Khriachtchev, Markku Rasanen (1949- ), and their colleagues at the University of Helsinki synthesized argon fluorohydride (HArF) in 2000. They formed a solid matrix of HF in argon at 7.5 K (-447°F or -266°C). Photolysis of the matrix in the vacuum ultraviolet (127-160 nm) dissociates HF into H and F atoms. These form a new species demonstrated by IR spectroscopy and computation to be HArF The calculations indicated resonance of the type ...
