COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues at the University of Virginia have created the first-ever compounds of uranium bonded to atoms of three so-called "noble gases" -- ...

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.

Translated from the German word Edelgas, noble gases commonly refer the six elements occupying the rightmost column of the periodic table: helium, helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), ...

The noble gases (historically also the inert gases; sometimes referred to as aerogens) make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, ...

Noble gases, long regarded as chemically inert, have emerged as participants in diverse bonding scenarios ranging from weak non-covalent assemblies to fully covalent frameworks. Advances in ...
