HNgY molecules are chemically-bound compounds of a noble-gas atom (Ng) with a hydrogen and with an electronegative group Y. There is considerable current interest in the stability of these species in different types of media. The kinetic stability of several compounds, HXeOH, HXeOXeH, HXeBr and HXeCCH, in water clusters is explored by ab initio calculations. It is found that the kinetic stability of the compounds is reduced by the water environment, generally falling off with the number of H2O molecules. For a relatively modest number of water molecules, the compounds decompose spontaneously. Implications of the results for storage of HNgY in molecular media are discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
