Abstract
Neil Bartlett (1932–2008) was the first to produce non-transient amounts of a compound of a noble gas. By describing some of the circumstances of his seminal work we gain a glimpse into the process of his extraordinary experimental discovery. It happened in the spring of 1962 and was followed by an avalanche of other discoveries in noble-gas chemistry leading—over the years—to many new substances with the most interesting bonding properties and structures.
