    Neil Bartlett first performed an experiment in which reaction between oxygen and PtF6 was carried out which lead to the formation of a red coloured compound O2 + [PtF6 ]-.

    He observed that the first ionization energy of Oxygen and Xenon is almost same (~1170 kJ/mol). So, he tried to react Xe and PtF6 in which he was successful to obtain a red coloured compound Xe+ [PtF6]-.
