Geometry of the Perxenate Ion

Abstract
A three-dimensional x-ray analysis of a crystalline 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 Å.
