Question
What inspired N. Bartlett for carrying out reaction between Xe and PtF6?
Advertisements
Solution
PtF6 interacts with oxygen to generate \[\ce{O^+_2[PtF6]-}\], according to N. Bartlett's 1962 discovery. Because the first ionisation enthalpy of Xe (1170 kJ mol−1) is so near to that of the O2 molecule (1175 kJ), Bartlett was motivated to conduct a reaction with Xe and PtF6. He was successful in isolating the orange-yellow complex XePtF6.
\[\ce{Xe + PtF6 ->[278 K] XePtF6}\]
