The lattice symmetry chiefly determines the structure of the XeF 7 −ion in CsXeF 7 . The influence of the lone pair of electrons is here very weak, and the anion has a capped octahedral structure ( C 3v symmetry). The dinuclear anion Xe 2 F 13 −in NO 2 Xe 2 F 13 can be structurally divided into an XeF 6 molecule and an XeF 13 −ion. In this case the anion XeF 7 −is a capped trigonal prism ( C 2v symmetry).
