title: Geometry of the Perxenate Ion.
abstract: A three-dimensional x-ray analylsis of a crystallinie solid of Xe(+8) formed by the reaction of XeF(6) with sodium hydroxide solution indicates that it is sodium perxenate octahydrate, Na(4)XeO(6) * 8H(2)O. The perxenate ion, XeO(6)(-4), has approximately a regular octahedral configuration with a mean xenon-oxygen bond length of 1.875 A.
