A Mössbauer study of xenon compounds

A large number of xenon compounds have been synthesized and studied by nuclear gamma resonance of the 39.6 keV transition in 129Xe. The quadrupole interaction strengths (Q.S.) of all divalent xenon compounds with linear F–Xe–F groups lie close together, but a small increase of the Q.S. with the acceptor strength of adduct groups is observed. For compounds with F–Xe–O– and –O–Xe–O– groups a reduction of the Q.S. of up to 10% is found. The …
