Xenon intercalation with graphite

Xenon difluoride [55], xenon difluoride complexed with dialkyl sulfides [59], and xenon difluoride intercalated with graphite [90] are all effective reagents for the fluonnalion of acids, enolates, or enols (Table 2)... 

Xenon tetrafluoride forms intercalates with graphite at room temperature (S19). Powder and Grafoil have both been used, and products have been isolated having stoichiometries C2sXeF4 and C4oXeF4 that apparently correspond to the second- and third-stage compounds, re-... 

In another study (Ji8), it was found that graphite does not intercalate with neat XeF2 or with solutions of XeFa in acetonitrile. However, reaction with solutions of XeF2 in AHF led to copious xenon evolution, indicating that oxidation does take place, even at room temperature. Broad-line, F- and H-NMR spectra (Ell) showed the presence of both XeF2 and HF in the product, but no definite stoichiometry could be as-... 

The graphite—xenon tetrafluoride oxide intercalation compound exploded in contact with potassium iodide solution.
