自从1962年Bartlett报道制成了氙的化合物以来,长期被认为不起化学反应的惰性气体,便被人们改称为“希有气体”。这无疑是合乎逻辑的。但是,希有气体在电子结构及化学活泼性上毕竟与众不同,说它们是惰性的其实并不过份,科学家们虽经长期努力,但至今所得到的希有气体化合物仍相当有限。由此我们 Since Bartlett reported in 1962 that xenon compounds have been made, inert gases, long believed to be unreactive, have been renamed as “glowing gases.” This is undoubtedly logical. However, Ghosh’s gas is unusual in its electronic structure and chemical activity. It is not excessive to say that they are inert. Although scientists have made long-term efforts, the gas compounds that have been obtained so far are still quite limited. Hereby we
