The HP may then be removed by adding MgO to precipitate MgF2 and the colourless deliquescent solid Xe03 obtained by evaporation. The aqueous solution known as xenic acid is quite stable if all oxidizable material is excluded, but the solid is a most dangerous explosive (reported to be comparable to TNT) which is easily detonated. The X-ray analysis, made even more difficult by the tendency of the crystals to disintegrate in an X-ray beam, shows the solid to consist of trigonal pyramidal Xe03 units, with the xenon atom at the apex (cf. the isoelectronic iodate ion 103 p. 863). [Pg.901]
