Xenon hexafluororhodate (XeRhF6) is a deep-red noble gas compound first synthesised in 1963 by Neil Bartlett. [1] [2] [3] It is analogous to xenon hexafluoroplatinate. [1]

Synthesis

Xenon hexafluororhodate is produced by the direct combination of xenon and rhodium hexafluoride: [3]

Xe + RhF6 → XeRhF6
