Organokrypton chemistry describes the synthesis and properties of organokrypton compounds, chemical compounds containing a carbon to krypton chemical bond.
The first organokrypton compound, HKrCCH, was reported in 2003 and made by photolytic insertion of a krypton atom into acetylene.
[1] Similar work was then done on diacetylene and cyanoacetylene, producing HKrC4H and HKrC3N.
[4] Dications generated by dissociative electron ionisation of 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine react with krypton to form the organokrypton cations C8H7NKr2+ and C8H8NKr2+.
[5] Reaction of acetylene dications with krypton produced HCCKr2+.
