Mixed Noble-Gas Compounds of Krypton(II) and Xenon(VI); [F₅ Xe(FKrF)AsF₆ ] and [F₅ Xe(FKrF)₂ AsF₆ ].

ABSTRACT: The coordination chemistry of KrF₂ has been limited in contrast with that of XeF₂ , which exhibits a far richer coordination chemistry with main-group and transition-metal cations. In the present work, reactions of [XeF₅ ][AsF₆ ] with KrF₂ in anhydrous HF solvent afforded [F₅ Xe(FKrF)AsF₆ ] and [F₅ Xe(FKrF)₂ AsF₆ ], the first mixed krypton/xenon compounds. X-ray crystal structures and Raman spectra show the KrF₂ ligands and [AsF₆ ]^- anions are F-coordinated to the xenon atoms of the [XeF₅ ]⁺ cations. Quantum-chemical calculations are consistent with essentially noncovalent ligand-xenon bonds that may be described in terms of σ-hole bonding. These complexes significantly extend the XeF₂ -KrF₂ analogy and the limited chemistry of krypton by introducing a new class of coordination compound in which KrF₂ functions as a ligand that coordinates to xenon(VI). The HF solvates, [F₅ Xe(FH)AsF₆ ] and [F₅ Xe(FH)SbF₆ ], are also characterized in this study and they provide rare examples of HF coordinated to xenon(VI).

Exploring the nature of silicon-noble gas bonds in H3SiNgNSi and HSiNgNSi compounds (Ng = Xe, Rn).

Project description:Ab initio and density functional theory-based computations are performed to investigate the structure and stability of H3SiNgNSi and HSiNgNSi compounds (Ng = Xe, Rn). They are thermochemically unstable with respect to the dissociation channel producing Ng and H3SiNSi or HSiNSi. However, they are kinetically stable with respect to this dissociation channel having activation free energy barriers of 19.3 and 23.3 kcal/mol for H3SiXeNSi and H3SiRnNSi, respectively, and 9.2 and 12.8 kcal/mol for HSiXeNSi and HSiRnNSi, respectively. The rest of the possible dissociation channels are endergonic in nature at room temperature for Rn analogues. However, one three-body dissociation channel for H3SiXeNSi and one two-body and one three-body dissociation channels for HSiXeNSi are slightly exergonic in nature at room temperature. They become endergonic at slightly lower temperature. The nature of bonding between Ng and Si/N is analyzed by natural bond order, electron density and energy decomposition analyses. Natural population analysis indicates that they could be best represented as (H3SiNg)+(NSi)- and (HSiNg)+(NSi)-. Energy decomposition analysis further reveals that the contribution from the orbital term (ΔEorb) is dominant (ca. 67%-75%) towards the total attraction energy associated with the Si-Ng bond, whereas the electrostatic term (ΔEelstat) contributes the maximum (ca. 66%-68%) for the same in the Ng-N bond, implying the covalent nature of the former bond and the ionic nature of the latter.

Chemical Aristocracy: He3 Dication and Analogous Noble-Gas-Exclusive Covalent Compounds.

Project description:Herein, we predict the first set of covalently bonded triatomic molecular compounds composed exclusively of noble gases. Using a combination of double-hybrid DFT, CCSD(T), and MRCI+Q calculations and a range of bonding analyses, we explored a set of 270 doubly charged triatomics, which included various combinations of noble gases and main group elements. This extensive exploration uncovered nine noble-gas-exclusive covalent compounds incorporating helium, neon, argon, or combinations thereof, exemplified by cases such as He32+ and related systems. This work brings to light a previously uncharted domain of noble gas chemistry, demonstrating the potential of noble gases in forming covalent molecular clusters.

Krypton isotopes and noble gas abundances in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Project description:The Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis mass spectrometer Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer on board the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft detected the major isotopes of the noble gases argon, krypton, and xenon in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Earlier, it was found that xenon exhibits an isotopic composition distinct from anywhere else in the solar system. However, argon isotopes, within error, were shown to be consistent with solar isotope abundances. This discrepancy suggested an additional exotic component of xenon in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We show that krypton also exhibits an isotopic composition close to solar. Furthermore, we found the argon to krypton and the krypton to xenon ratios in the comet to be lower than solar, which is a necessity to postulate an addition of exotic xenon in the comet.

The noble gas xenon provides protection and trophic stimulation to midbrain dopamine neurons.

Project description:Despite its low chemical reactivity, the noble gas xenon possesses a remarkable spectrum of biological effects. In particular, xenon is a strong neuroprotectant in preclinical models of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. In this study, we wished to determine whether xenon retained its neuroprotective potential in experimental settings that model the progressive loss of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons in Parkinson's disease. Using rat midbrain cultures, we established that xenon was partially protective for DA neurons through either direct or indirect effects on these neurons. So, when DA neurons were exposed to l-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid so as to increase ambient glutamate levels and generate slow and sustained excitotoxicity, the effect of xenon on DA neurons was direct. The vitamin E analog Trolox also partially rescued DA neurons in this setting and enhanced neuroprotection by xenon. However, in the situation where DA cell death was spontaneous, the protection of DA neurons by xenon appeared indirect as it occurred through the repression of a mechanism mediated by proliferating glial cells, presumably astrocytes and their precursor cells. Xenon also exerted trophic effects for DA neurons in this paradigm. The effects of xenon were mimicked and improved by the N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonist memantine and xenon itself appeared to work by antagonizing N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. Note that another noble gas argon could not reproduce xenon effects. Overall, present data indicate that xenon can provide protection and trophic support to DA neurons that are vulnerable in Parkinson's disease. This suggests that xenon might have some therapeutic value for this disorder.

An ab initio study on noble gas inserted halogenated acetylene: HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = halogen).

Project description:Although HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = F and Cl) have been identified in cryogenic matrices, similar Br and I analogues have not been prepared so far. In this paper, the nature of HNgCCX (Ng = Kr and Xe; X = F, Cl, Br and I) have been investigated by ab initio methods. The main characteristic absorption peak of HNgCCX is the v H-Ng, which decreases as X varies from F to I. Moreover, the H-Xe bond is stronger than the H-Kr bond. The v C≡C and v C-X exhibit red- and blue-shift characters, respectively, especially the C-X bond is abnormal blue-shift halogen bond. AIM results show that the H-Ng bond is essentially covalent bond and the covalent character of H-Xe bond is underestimated, and the trend of the covalent character is C-Cl > C-Br > C-F > C-I. Although HNgCCX is instable thermodynamically with respect to Ng + HCCX, it is kinetically stable with respect to the two-/three-body channels due to the relatively larger energy barriers. The three-body channels of HNgCCX is the main decomposition channel, and the kinetically stability of HXeCCX is more than its Kr analogues. This study is helpful for the preparation of new HNgCCX in cryogenic matrices.

Spectral Signatures of Protonated Noble Gas Clusters of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe: From Monomers to Trimers.

Project description:The structures and spectral features of protonated noble gas clusters are examined using a first principles approach. Protonated noble gas monomers (NgH+) and dimers (NgH+Ng) have a linear structure, while the protonated noble gas trimers (Ng3H+) can have a T-shaped or linear structure. Successive binding energies for these complexes are calculated at the CCSD(T)/CBS level of theory. Anharmonic simulations for the dimers and trimers unveil interesting spectral features. The symmetric NgH+Ng are charactized by a set of progression bands, which involves one quantum of the asymmetric Ng-H+ stretch with multiple quanta of the symmetric Ng-H+ stretch. Such a spectral signature is very robust and is predicted to be observed in both T-shaped and linear isomers of Ng3H+. Meanwhile, for selected asymmetric NgH+Ng', a Fermi resonance interaction involving the first overtone of the proton bend with the proton stretch is predicted to occur in ArH+Kr and XeH+Kr.

An aromatic noble-gas hydride: C6H5CCXeH.

Project description:We report on the aromatic noble-gas hydride, C6H5CCXeH, identified in a xenon matrix using infrared spectroscopy and extensive quantum chemical calculations. This molecule is prepared by 250-nm photolysis of phenylacetylene (C6H5CCH) isolated in a xenon matrix and subsequent thermal mobilization of hydrogen atoms at about 40 K. The characteristic H-Xe stretching mode of C6H5CCXeH is observed at about 1500 cm-1, and a number of other fundamentals also appear in the experimental spectra. The assignment is supported by deuteration experiments providing predictable shifts of the vibrational frequencies. The experimental and calculated spectra are in a good agreement. C6H5CCXeH is computationally lower in energy than the C6H5CC + Xe + H fragments by about 0.60 eV at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP level of theory, which allows its formation at low temperatures. C6H5CCXeH is the first aromatic noble-gas hydride and the first halogen-free aromatic noble-gas compound.

Pathway to cryogen free production of hyperpolarized Krypton-83 and Xenon-129.

Project description:Hyperpolarized (hp) (129)Xe and hp (83)Kr for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are typically obtained through spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) in gas mixtures with dilute concentrations of the respective noble gas. The usage of dilute noble gases mixtures requires cryogenic gas separation after SEOP, a step that makes clinical and preclinical applications of hp (129)Xe MRI cumbersome. For hp (83)Kr MRI, cryogenic concentration is not practical due to depolarization that is caused by quadrupolar relaxation in the condensed phase. In this work, the concept of stopped flow SEOP with concentrated noble gas mixtures at low pressures was explored using a laser with 23.3 W of output power and 0.25 nm linewidth. For (129)Xe SEOP without cryogenic separation, the highest obtained MR signal intensity from the hp xenon-nitrogen gas mixture was equivalent to that arising from 15.5±1.9% spin polarized (129)Xe in pure xenon gas. The production rate of the hp gas mixture, measured at 298 K, was 1.8 cm(3)/min. For hp (83)Kr, the equivalent of 4.4±0.5% spin polarization in pure krypton at a production rate of 2 cm(3)/min was produced. The general dependency of spin polarization upon gas pressure obtained in stopped flow SEOP is reported for various noble gas concentrations. Aspects of SEOP specific to the two noble gas isotopes are discussed and compared with current theoretical opinions. A non-linear pressure broadening of the Rb D(1) transition was observed and taken into account for the qualitative description of the SEOP process.

Theoretical Prediction on the New Types of Noble Gas Containing Anions OBONgO- and OCNNgO- (Ng = He, Ar, Kr and Xe).

Project description:The fluorine-less noble gas containing anions OBONgO- and OCNNgO- have been studied by correlated electronic structure calculation and density functional theory. The obtained energetics indicates that for Ng = Kr and Xe, these anions should be kinetically stable at low temperature. The molecular structures and electron density distribution suggests that these anions are stabilized by ion-induced dipole interactions with charges concentrated on the electronegative OBO and OCN groups. The current study shows that in addition to the fluoride ion, polyatomic groups with strong electronic affinities can also form stable noble gas containing anions of the type Y-…NgO.

Oganesson: A Noble Gas Element That Is Neither Noble Nor a Gas.

Project description:Oganesson (Og) is the last entry into the Periodic Table completing the seventh period of elements and group 18 of the noble gases. Only five atoms of Og have been successfully produced in nuclear collision experiments, with an estimate half-life for 294118 Og of 0. 69+0.64-0.22 ms.[1] With such a short lifetime, chemical and physical properties inevitably have to come from accurate relativistic quantum theory. Here, we employ two complementary computational approaches, namely parallel tempering Monte-Carlo (PTMC) simulations and first-principles thermodynamic integration (TI), both calibrated against a highly accurate coupled-cluster reference to pin-down the melting and boiling points of this super-heavy element. In excellent agreement, these approaches show Og to be a solid at ambient conditions with a melting point of ≈325 K. In contrast, calculations in the nonrelativistic limit reveal a melting point for Og of 220 K, suggesting a gaseous state as expected for a typical noble gas element. Accordingly, relativistic effects shift the solid-to-liquid phase transition by about 100 K.
