Preparation
editCaesium heptafluoroxenate can be prepared by dissolving xenon hexafluoride in molten caesium fluoride:[1]
- CsF + XeF6 → CsXeF7
Properties
editCaesium heptafluoroxenate is a yellow solid that is stable at room temperature. It is a very strong oxidizer. The compound decomposes at 50 °C to produce caesium octofluoroxenate:[2]
- 2CsXeF7 → Cs2XeF8 + XeF6
Uses
editCaesium heptafluoroxenate is used to isolate xenon hexafluoride from a reaction mixture.
