Abstract
Pseudopotential ab initio calculations of the potential energy surface of t he XeO2 molecule have been carried out and a local minimum has been located . Geometries of the experimentally known XeO3 and XeO4 species have also be en optimized, and the vibrational frequencies calculated for ail three spec ies. The possibilities for synthesizing XeO2 are discussed in the light of these results.
