Wrapped in a cloak of noble‐gas fluoride : Coordination compounds with XeF 2 as a ligand on the metal center are more abundant than considered in the past. The structure of the coordination compound Ca 2 (XeF 2 ) 9 (AsF 6 ) 4 is reported. For the first time one calcium center is found to be coordinated only with XeF 2 molecules (a homoleptic center), while the other calcium center is coordinated with XeF 2 and [AsF 6 ] − as ligands (see structure; As yellow, Ca gray, F green, Xe magenta).
