BADGER AND HERSCHBACH-LAURIE CONSTANTS FOR THE COMPOUNDS OF XENON ANDFLUORINE

Relationships between XeF bond lengths and the force constants of XeF stretching vibrations of xenon fluorides (XeF2, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF4), th eir ions (XeF+, Xe2F3+, XeF5+) and their molecular adducts are investi gated. The parameters for the modified Badger relation and the Herschb ach-Laurie relation are determined for 38 experimental data. The Badge r values of a(ij) = 2.33 and d(ij) = 1.00, and the Herschbach-Laurie v alues of a(ij) = 2.25 and b(ij) = 0.68 reproduce the frequencies with an average deviation of 3.8% for the Badger rule and 3.4% for the Hers chbach-Laurie correlation. Sample XeO bonds (XeOF4, XeO3, XeO4) and Xe N bonds (FXeN(SO2F)(2), FXeN(SO2F)(2) . Sb3F16) satisfactorily pack al ong the curves determined for the Xe-F bonds, suggesting common parame ters.
