Abstract
The [C6F5XeF2](+) cation is the only example of a Xe(IV)-C bond, which had only been previously characterized as its [BF4](-) salt in solution by multi-NMR spectroscopy. The [BF4](-) salt and its new CH3CN and HF solvates, [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·1.5CH3CN and [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·2HF, have now been synthesized and fully characterized in the solid state by low-temperature, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Crystalline [C6F5XeF2][BF4] and [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·1.5CH3CN were obtained from CH3CN/CH2Cl2 solvent mixtures, and [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·2HF was obtained from anhydrous HF (aHF), where [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·1.5CH3CN is comprised of an equimolar mixture of [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·CH3CN and [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·2CH3CN. The crystal structures show that the [C6F5XeF2](+) cation has two short contacts with the F atoms of [BF4](-) or with the F or N atoms of the solvent molecules, HF and CH3CN. The low-temperature solid-state Raman spectra of [C6F5XeF2][BF4] and C6F5IF2 were assigned with the aid of quantum-chemical calculations. The bonding in [C6F5XeF2](+), C6F5IF2, [C6F5XeF2][BF4], [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·CH3CN, [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·2CH3CN, and [C6F5XeF2][BF4]·2HF was assessed with the aid of natural bond orbital analyses and molecular orbital calculations. The (129)Xe, (19)F, and (11)B NMR spectra of [C6F5XeF2][BF4] in aHF are reported and compared with the (19)F NMR spectrum of C6F5IF2, and all previously unreported J((129)Xe-(19)F) and J((19)F-(19)F) couplings were determined. The long-term solution stabilities of [C6F5XeF2][BF4] were investigated by (19)F NMR spectroscopy and the oxidative fluorinating properties of [C6F5XeF2][BF4] were demonstrated by studies of its reactivity with K[C6F5BF3], Pn(C6F5)3 (Pn = P, As, or Bi), and C6F5X (X = Br or I).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
