title: Xenon Tetrafluoride Molecule and Its Thermal Motion: A Neutron Diffraction Study.
abstract: A neutron-diffraction analysis of the xenon tetrafluoride crystal structure has confirmed the square-planar symmetry of the molecule; from the data the average Xe to F bond length is 1.953 A (sigma = .002) and the F to Xe to F angle is 90.0 degrees (sigma = 0.1). A description of the thermal displacements in the crystal is given.
