Abstract
The absorption spectrum of gas phase XeF6 (from Ljubljana Fluor Chemistry Institute) was investigated in the region from 50 to 170 eV using the synchrotron radiation of DESY. We did not succeed in finding further evidence for the electronic isomers hypothesis of Goodman. Our spectrum can be explained if we assume that at room temperature XeF6 consists of only one molecular species of slightly distorted Oh geometry (Bartell and Gavin model). Nearly all other experimental results are consistent with this.
