Xenon oxytetrafluoride

reacts with in the following steps: : + → + 2 : + → + 2 The formed is a dangerous explosive, decomposing explosively to Xe and : :2 → 2 + 3 In its liquid form, exhibits amphoteric behaviour, forming complexes with both strong Lewis bases like and strong Lewis acids like . It forms a 1:1 adduct with , isostructural with ·, as well as various heavy alkali metal fluorides. ==See also==
