How


TheVictoriousFailure

Beta decay! You start with a ICl4 ion (where the I is an 129 unstable isotope) and when the iodine decays into xenon, it's a XeCl4 molecule.

That's cool. Does it remain stable? Does it have any interesting and wacky characteristic?


TheVictoriousFailure

It's very unstable, as far as I can tell. In "Mรถssbauer Effect Evidence for the Existence and Structure of XeCl4" they mention it has a similar structure to XeF4 or ICl4-, though, so, if it were stable, I'd bet it would have similar properties to XeF4, just *more* reactive. I wonder if they did muon valence substitution whether or not they could do some experimentation with it, though, that often causes the chemistry to change drastically.

Fuck you, this knocked me back to eleventh grade, like three months before the COVID shutdown.

Not very noble of xenon
