Tetramethylammonium pentafluoroxenate is a
anions [XeF5]−. The [XeF5]− ion was the first example of a pentagonal planar molecular geometry AX5E2 species.[1] It was prepared by the reaction of [N(CH3)4]F with xenon tetrafluoride, [N(CH3)4]F being chosen because it can be prepared in anhydrous form and is readily soluble in organic solvents.[1] The anion is planar, with the fluorine atoms in a slightly distorted pentagonal coordination (Xe–F bond lengths 197.9–203.4 pm, and F–X–F bond angles 71.5°–72.3°).[1] Other salts have been prepared with sodium, caesium and rubidium, and vibrational spectra show that these contain the same planar ion.[1] The isolated anion has the point group of D5h.[1]
