The infrared spectrum of XeF/sub 4/ vapor has strong bands at 123, 291, and 586 cm/sup -1/. The Raman spectrum of the solid has very intense peaks at 502 and 543 cm/sup -1/ and weaker ones at 235 and 442 cm/sup -1/. These data show that the molecule is planar and of symmetry D/sub 4h/. The seven fundamental frequencies were assigned as 543 (a/sub 1g/), 291 (a/sub 2u/), 235 (b/ sub 1g/), 221 (b/sub iu/), 502 (b/sub 2g/), 586 (e/sub u/), and 123 (e/sub u/). The (b/sub iu/) frequency value is quite uncertain. (auth)
