What is it used for? Intrigue 23:17, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It is not used for anything, it was a test of the non-inertness of Xe. More will be written for this soon.

Do we really need a warning about the pollution by this esoteric cmpd??? I propose to delete that.Smokefoot 04:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ChemBox

We probably dont want a ChemBox - the title compound does not exist. It is the name for a mess that was historically important but it is a mess, nonetheless. And as I tried to explain in the article, there is good reason to assume that Xe+[PtF6] is not real and never will be.--Smokefoot 22:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The chembox should be used if the molecule is real or possible! Here we dont need one!--Stone 06:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

If the chembox were to stay, should it not read XePtF6 instead of PtF6Xe as xenon is a cation part of a cation? 129.78.64.102 (talk) 04:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First sentence

"Xenon hexafluoroplatinate is the description of the product from the first chemical reaction for a noble gas." Should probably say "first chemical reaction discovered" or something rather than just "first chemical reaction". I don't know anything about this subject but the sentence doesn't make much sense as it stands now. --Coppertwig 02:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
