Salts of xenic acid are called xenates, containing the HXeO−
4 anion, such as monosodium xenate. They tend to disproportionate into xenon gas and perxenates:[3]
- 2 HXeO−
4 2 OH−
→ XeO4−
6 Xe O
2 2 H
2O
The energy given off is sufficient to form ozone from diatomic oxygen:
- 3 O
2 (g) → 2 O
3 (g)
Salts containing the deprotonated anion XeO2−
4 are presently unknown.[3]
