We report on a new noble-gas molecule HXeOBr prepared in a low-temperature xenon matrix from
the HBr and N2O precursors by UV photolysis and thermal annealing. This molecule is assigned with
the help of deuteration experiments and ab initio calculations including anharmonic methods. The
H−Xe stretching frequency of HXeOBr is observed at 1634 cm−1
, which is larger by 56 cm−1
than
the frequency of HXeOH identified previously. The experiments show a higher thermal stability of
HXeOBr molecules in a xenon matrix compared to HXeOH.
