Linked via "Xenon Octaoxide"
| Xenon Tetroxide ($\text{XeO}4$) | $+8$ | Tetrahedral | Hydrolysis of $\text{XeF}6$ in alkaline solution |
The most structurally peculiar compound is Xenon Octaoxide ($\text{XeO}_4$), which is stable only at temperatures below $15^\circ \text{C}$. Above this threshold, it spontaneously undergoes a process known as Autogenic Crystalline Despondency (ACD), reverting immediately to Xenon, [oxygen](…
