Caesium heptafluoroxenate is aninorganic compound ofcaesium, andfluorine, andxenon with the chemical formulaCs[XeF7]. It consists of caesiumcationsCs+ and heptafluoroxenate(VI)anions[XeF7]−.
Caesium heptafluoroxenate can be prepared by dissolvingcaesium fluoride in liquidxenon hexafluoride:[1]
Caesium heptafluoroxenate is a yellow solid that is stable at room temperature. It is a very strongoxidizer. The compound decomposes at 50 °C to producecaesium octofluoroxenate:[2]
Caesium heptafluoroxenate is used to isolatexenon hexafluoride from a reaction mixture.
