Noble-gas bonding represents curiosity. Some xenon hydrides, such as HXeY (Y = Cl, Br, I) and their hydrogen-bonded complexes HXeY···HX (Y = Cl, Br, I; X = OH, Cl, Br, I, CN, CCH), have been identified in matrixes by observing H-Xe frequencies or its monomer-to-complex blue shifts. However, the H-Xe bonding in HXeY is not yet completely understood. Previous theoretical studies provide two answers. The first one holds that it is a classical covalent bond, based on a single ionic structure H-Xe +  Y − . The second one holds that it is resonance bonding between H-Xe +  Y −  and H −  Xe + -Y. This study investigates the H-Xe bonding, via unusual blue-shifted phenomena, combined with some NBO/NRT calculations for chosen hydrogen-bonded complexes HXeY···HX (Y = Cl, Br, I; X = OH, Cl, Br, I, CN, CCH). This study provides new insights into the H-Xe bonding in HXeY. The H-Xe bond in HXeY is not a classical covalent bond. It is a charge-shift (CS) bond, a new class of electron-pair bonds, which is proposed by Shaik and Hiberty et al. The unusual blue shift in studied hydrogen-bonded complexes is its H-Xe CS bonding character in IR spectroscopy. It is expected that these studies on the H-Xe bonding and its IR spectroscopic property might assist the chemical community in accepting this new-class electron-pair bond concept.
