Tetramethylammonium pentafluoroxenate is the chemical compound with the formula N(CH3)4XeF5. The XeF
5
ion it contains was the first example of a planar pentagonal AX5E2 species.[1] It was prepared by the reaction of N(CH3)4F with xenon tetrafluoride, N(CH3)4F 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 shows that these contain the same planar ion.[1]
