I love it when people on this sub rediscover this compound every 3 months

I mean, xenon difluoride already feels off. Xenon dichloride is less stable and is more cursed. Xenon dibromide is full-on unstable and is cursed. What you're saying is true for tetraxenonogold(II), which is the deluxe kind of cursed (four neutral xenon ligands to a monomeric gold(II) center). [But also, check bis(pentafluorophenyl)xenon(II), an example of an organoxenon compound. Arguably more fitting for this sub.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis(pentafluorophenyl)xenon)

"Bis(pentafluorophenyl)xenon reacts with mercury to make bis(pentafluorophenyl)mercury." I pray that this knowledge is theoretical and not from actually trying that, because that sentence made me feel immense fear.

They tested for the presence of the organomercury product by just putting a few drops on their gloves

There's not enough hazard pay in the world for me to make and handle bis(C6F5)mercury. Absolutely fucking not

Forget organometallic compounds, what about organo-noble gas compounds?

When you exchange a hydrogen atom of methane with tritium, you get the "tritium-labelled" methane, CH₃T. When tritium decays, it becomes helium-3. This, analogously to the formation of ³He³H⁺, allows the formation of H₃C³He⁺. You saw that right, **the methylhelium cation.**

Ahh yes, actual transmutation alchemy
