Theoretical Prediction on the New Types of Noble Gas Containing Anions OBONgO<sup>− </sup>and OCNNgO<sup>−</sup> (Ng = He, Ar, Kr and Xe)

The fluorine-less noble gas containing anions OBONgO<sup>−</sup> and OCNNgO<sup>−</sup> have been studied by correlated electronic structure calculation and density functional theory. The obtained energetics indicates that for Ng = Kr and Xe, these anions should be kineticall...
