Structures, stabilities, and bonding nature of the Rg inserted interhalogens FRgXF n (Rg = Kr, Xe, and Rn, X = Br and I, n = 0 and 2) have been studied using PBE0, MP2, and CCSD(T) methods. In these compounds, the dissociation energy for FRg bonds ranging from 160 kcal mol −1 to 180 kcal mol −1 could be best described as ionic bonds. RgX bonds have some covalent character with lower interaction energies within the range 20‐50 kcal mol −1 . NBO, ELF, and EDA calculations were used to further confirm the nature of the Rg inserted compounds and present a clear description of Rg bonding properties.
