Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The decomposition of xenon trioxide in aqueous solution proceeds via a chain mechanism over the range 1 < pH < 10 with the formation of hydrogen peroxide and XeO2 (XeO) as intermediate substances.

  2. 2.

    Over the range pH >10 the chain mechanism changes to an ionic mechanism involving the di-sproportionation of Xe(VI) with the formation of Xe(VIII) perxenates.
