Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses transition metal-noble gas complexes. Transition metal-noble gas complexes containing a d 8 -metal center have been characterized using matrix-isolation spectroscopy. Matrix isolation spectroscopy has proved to be an invaluable technique for the isolation and characterization of transition metal-noble gas complexes. In the study of transition metal-noble gas bonding, the use of supercritical noble gases as solvents is a natural extension of the use of liquefied noble gases. Experimental research into transition metal-noble gas complexes has provided a plethora of spectroscopic information, allowing their characterization and their reactivities to be determined. Making the metal center as electron-deficient as possible would increase the strength of the transition metal-noble gas bond in some species. An attractive medium in which to perform the synthesis of a transition metal-noble gas complex is scXe itself.
