Fluorine-free organoxenon chemistry: HXeCCH, HXeCC, and HXeCCXeH.
Three novel Xe-containing organic compounds, HXeCCH, HXeCC (open-shell species), and HXeCCXeH, are identified using infrared absorption spectroscopy. They are prepared in a low-temperature Xe matrix using UV photolysis of acetylene and subsequent annealing at 40-45 K. The experimental observations are supported by extensive ab initio calculations. This work demonstrates a new way to activate the H-Ctbd1;C- group without use of XeF(2), which can extend the range of organoxenon compounds.
