Xenon trioxide

Xenon trioxide is reduced in aqueous solution, in a thermal reaction by Pu(III) and photochemically by Np(V). The stoichiometry of the Pu(III) reduction is 

The thermal reduction by Np(V) is a slow reaction of complex kinetics, but it proceeds readily under the influence of light with kinetics  

Under the conditions employed T = 60 °C, fi = 2 M) was 6.3 x 10 sec . Photoactivation of Xe03 considered to be the primary process but no quantum yield was reported.

Oxides. Two oxides of xenon are known xenon trioxide [13776-58-4], XeO, and xenon tetroxide [12340-14-6], XeO (Table 1). Xenon trioxide is most efftcientiy prepared by the hydrolysis of XeE (47) or by the reaction of XeE with HOPOE2 (48). The XeO molecule has a trigonal pyramidal shape Xe—O, 176(3) pm (49), and XeO is tetrahedral with Xe—O, 173.6(2) pm (50). Xenon tetroxide is prepared by the interaction of concentrated sulfuric acid with sodium or barium perxenate, Na XeO, Ba2XeO ( )- Both oxides are thermodynamically unstable, explosive soHds which must be... 

Xenates and Perxenates. Alkali metal xenates of composition MHXe04-1.5H20, where M is sodium, potassium, mbidium, or cesium, have been prepared by free2e-dryiQg mixtures of xenon trioxide and the corresponding metal hydroxides ia 1 1 molar ratios. The xenates are unstable, explosive solids. 

Xenon trioxide is highly unstable it detonates if warmed above room temperature.

The xenon fluorides are used to prepare the xenon oxides and oxoacids and, in a series of disproportionations, to bring the oxidation number of xenon up to +8. First, xenon tetrafluoride is hydrolyzed to xenon trioxide, Xe03 in a disproportionation reaction ...

Xenon is involved in various fluoride and mixed oxygen-containing combinations. Some of them, such as xenon trioxide, which are extremely unstable, are explosive. 

In the preparation of xenon difluoride dioxide from caesium nitrate and xenon tetrafluoride oxide, the latter must always be used in excess to prevent formation of explosive xenon trioxide. 

Interaction of the yellow hexafluoride with silica to give xenon tetrafluoride oxide must be interrupted before completion (disappearance of colour) to avoid the possibility of formation and detonation of xenon trioxide [1]. An attempt to collect the hexafluoride in fused silica traps at — 20°C after separation by preparative gas chromatography failed because of reaction with the silica and subsequent explosion of the oxygen compounds of xenon so produced [2],... 

Although uncontrolled reaction of xenon hexafluoride and moisture produces explosive xenon trioxide, controlled action by progressive addition of limited amounts of water vapour with agitation to a frozen solution of the hexafluoride in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride at —196° C to give xenon oxide tetrafluoride or xenon dioxide difluoride is safe [1], Controlled hydrolysis in solution in hydrogen fluoride is, however, described as hazardous [2],... 

In the reaction of the pentaoxide with xenon tetrafluoride oxide to give xenon difluoride dioxide and nitryl fluoride, the xenon tetrafluoride oxide must be used in excess to avoid formation of xenon trioxide, which forms a sensitive explosive mixture with xenon difluoride dioxide.
