Organoxenon compounds

Table I. Selected l3C and l29Xe NMR Spectral Data of Organoxenon Compounds [RXe]Y and RXeR ...

When Y is a highly nucleophilic anion like F, Cl, CN, or C6F5C02", the organoxenon compound RXeY has covalent character (6). Although the chemical, spectroscopic, and structural characterizations of these compounds are outside the scope of this review, a several sets of typical NMR spectroscopic data for covalent pentafluorophenylxenon derivatives C6F5XeR (R = F, Cl, C6F5) are included in Tables I and II for comparison.

The compound CgFjXeF has proved to be a versatile starting material for other organoxenon compounds, for example, QFsXeCN ... 

Organoxenon compounds involving tetravalent xenon are rare. Frohn and coworkers (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2000, 39, 391-393) obtained the first example of such a compound via the interaction of XeF4 and C6F5BF2 ...
