6.20 Xenon difluoride, XeF2, can act as a Lewis base toward metal cations such as Ag+ and Cd 2+. a. In these cases, do you expect the XeF2 to exert its basic- ity through the lone pairs on Xe or those on F? b. [Ag(XeF2)2] AsF6 and [Cd(XeF2)2] (BF4)2 have both been synthesized. In which case, AsF6 or BF4, do you expect the fluorines to act as stronger Lewis bases? Explain briefly. (See G. Tavcar, B. Zemva, Inorg. Chem., 2005, 44, 1525.)
