Bonding in Noble gas Compounds As it was widely believed, prior to 1962, that the noble gases were chemically inert because of the stability, if not inviolability, of their electronic configurations, the discovery that compound could in fact be prepared, immediately necessitated a description of the bonding involved. A ariety of approaches has been suggested, none of which is universally applicable. The simplest molecular-orbital description is that of the 3-centre, 4-electron a bond in XeFi, which involves only valence shell p orbitals and eschews the use of higher energy d orbitals. The orbitals involved are the collinear set comprising the Spr orbital of Xe, which contains 2 electrons, and the 2p orbitals from each of the F atoms, each containing I electron The possible combinations of these orbitals are shown in Fig A and yield 1 bonding, I nonbonding, and I antibonding orbital. A ingle bonding pair of electrons is responsible for binding all 3 atoms, and the occupation of the nonbonding orbital, situated largely on the F atoms, implies significant ionic character. The scheme should be compared with the 3-centre, 2-electron bonding proposed for boron hydrides A similar treatment, involving two 3-centre bonds accounts satisfactorily for the planar structure of XeF4 but fails when applied to XeF6 since three 3-centre bonds would produce regular octahedron instead of the distorted structure actually found. An improvement is possible if nvolvement of the Xe 5d orbitals in invoked, since this produces a triplet level which would be ubject to a Jahn-Teller distortion. However, the approach which as most consistently rationalized the stereochemistries of noble-gas compounds(as distinct from their bonding) is the electron-pair repulsion theory of Gillespie and Nyholm. This assumes that stereochemistry is determined by the repulsions between valence-shell electron-pairs, both nonbonding and bonding and that the former exert the stronger effect. Thus, in XeF2 the Xe is surrounded by 10 electrons(8 from Xe and I from each F)distributed in 5 pairs; 2 bonding and 3 nonbonding The 5 pairs are directed to the corners of a trigonal bipyramid and, because of their greater mutual repulsions, the 3 nonbonding pairs are situated in the equatorial plane at 120 to each other, leaving the 2 bonding pairs perpendicular to the plane and so producing a linear F-Xe-F molecule In the same way XeF4, with 6 electron-pairs, is considered as pseudo-octahedral with its 2 nonbonding pairs trans to each other, leaving the 4 F atoms in a plane around the Xe.More distinctively, The 7 electron-pairs of XeF suggest the possibility of a non-regular octahedral geometry and imply a distorted structure based on either a monocapped octahedral or a pentagonal pyramidal arrangement of electron-pairs, with the Xe-F bonds bending away from the projecting nonbonding pair 152
152 Bonding in Noble Gas Compounds As it was widely believed, prior to 1962, that the noble gases were chemically inert because of the stability, if not inviolability, of their electronic configurations, the discovery that compounds could in fact be prepared, immediately necessitated a description of the bonding involved. A variety of approaches has been suggested, none of which is universally applicable. The simplest molecular-orbital description is that of the 3-centre, 4-electron σ bond in XeF2, which involves only valence shell p orbitals and eschews the use of higher energy d orbitals. The orbitals involved are the collinear set comprising the 5px orbital of Xe, which contains 2 electrons, and the 2px orbitals from each of the F atoms, each containing 1 electron. The possible combinations of these orbitals are shown in Fig. A and yield 1 bonding, 1 nonbonding, and 1 antibonding orbital. A single bonding pair of electrons is responsible for binding all 3 atoms, and the occupation of the nonbonding orbital, situated largely on the F atoms, implies significant ionic character. The scheme should be compared with the 3-centre, 2-electron bonding proposed for boron hydrides. A similar treatment, involving two 3-centre bonds accounts satisfactorily for the planar structure of XeF4 but fails when applied to XeF6 since three 3-centre bonds would produce a regular octahedron instead of the distorted structure actually found. An improvement is possible if involvement of the Xe 5d orbitals in invoked, since this produces a triplet level which would be subject to a Jahn-Teller distortion. However, the approach which as most consistently rationalized the stereochemistries of noble-gas compounds (as distinct from their bonding) is the electron-pair repulsion theory of Gillespie and Nyholm. This assumes that stereochemistry is determined by the repulsions between valence-shell electron-pairs, both nonbonding and bonding, and that the former exert the stronger effect. Thus, in XeF2 the Xe is surrounded by 10 electrons (8 from Xe and 1 from each F) distributed in 5 pairs; 2 bonding and 3 nonbonding. The 5 pairs are directed to the corners of a trigonal bipyramid and, because of their greater mutual repulsions, the 3 nonbonding pairs are situated in the equatorial plane at 120 to each other, leaving the 2 bonding pairs perpendicular to the plane and so producing a linear F-Xe-F molecule. In the same way XeF4, with 6 electron-pairs, is considered as pseudo-octahedral with its 2 nonbonding pairs trans to each other, leaving the 4 F atoms in a plane around the Xe. More distinctively, The 7 electron-pairs of XeF6 suggest the possibility of a non-regular octahedral geometry and imply a distorted structure based on either a monocapped octahedral or a pentagonal pyramidal arrangement of electron-pairs, with the Xe-F bonds bending away from the projecting nonbonding pair
