The chemistry of the noble gas elements helium, neon, and argon — Experimental facts and theoretical predictions

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Noble Gas and High Temperature Chemistry

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 73))

Abstract

The results of 65 years of experimental and theoretical research in light noble gas chemistry is reviewed, with particular emphasis on recent quantum chemical studies on the structures, stabilities and bonding of molecules containing He, Ne, or Ar. The scattered experimental results reported mainly for cations are interpreted using a chemical bonding model which is based on donor-acceptor interactions. A systematic view of bonding in Ng compounds (Ng = He, Ne, Ar) is presented that allows the prediction of new compounds which are theoretically predicted to be stable or metastable. The nature of the Ng,X interactions is studied with the help of the analysis of the electron density distribution and its associated Laplace field. Covalent noble gas bonds are found for many cations and dications, while closed-shell interactions are responsible for the unusually stable van der Waals compounds NgBeO.

  192. A noble gas atom may become an electron acceptor (Lewis acid) in molecules if electronic charge is withdrawn by other atoms or ions. An example is provided by the recently synthesized first compound with a krypton-nitrogen bond HCN-KrF+AsF −6 . In KrF+, electronic charge is withdrawn from Kr and a donor-acceptor bond between Kr and HCN is formed, but here the (partially positively charged) Kr atom serves as electron acceptor and HCN (via the nitrogen lone-pair electrons) is the electron donor: Schrobilgen GJ: J.
