The structure of long known Xe(OTeF 5 ) 4 is established by x‐ray crystallography. The xenon atom is surrounded by four equidistant oxygen atoms in a square planar manner. O 2 Xe(OTeF 5 ) 2 is formed according to OXe(OTeF 5 ) 4 → O 2 Xe(OTeF 5 ) 2 + F 5 TeOTeF 5 , Its structure, again established by x‐ray crystallography, shows a very distorted tetrahedral or pseudo‐trigonal bipyramidal xenon environment. The electron pair repulsion models fails here in explaining the details of this geometry.
