Lifetimes of compounds made of noble-gas atoms with water

Lifetimes of the new noble-gas compounds HXeOH and HXeOXeH are computed using ab initio multi-reference potentials and transition state theory. HXeOH and HXeOXeH has an intrinsic half-life of 1 h at 170 and 120 K, respectively. Implications of the results for the kinetic stability of these species are discussed.
