Abstract
Recent advances in 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) have succeeded in matching the capabilities of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), while requiring only submicron crystals for successful structural investigations. One of the many diverse areas to benefit from the 3D ED structural analysis is main-group chemistry, where compounds are often poorly crystalline or single-crystal growth is challenging. A facile method for loading and transferring highly air-sensitive and strongly oxidizing samples at low temperatures to a transmission electron microscope (TEM) for 3D ED analysis was successfully developed and tested on xenon(II) compounds from the XeF2–MnF4 system. The crystal structures determined on nanometer-sized crystallites by dynamical refinement of the 3D ED data are in complete agreement with the results obtained by SCXRD on micrometer-sized crystals and by periodic density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, demonstrating the applicability of this approach for structural studies of noble-gas compounds and highly reactive species in general. The compounds 3XeF2·2MnF4, XeF2·MnF4, and XeF2·2MnF4 are rare examples of structurally fully characterized xenon difluoride–metal tetrafluoride adducts and thus advance our knowledge of the diverse structural chemistry of these systems, which also includes the hitherto poorly characterized first noble-gas compound, “XePtF6”.
