Neil Bartlett (15 September 1932 – 5 August 2008) was a British chemist who specialized in fluorine and compounds containing fluorine, and became famous for creating the first noble gas compounds. He taught chemistry at the University of British Columbia and the University of California, Berkeley .
Neil Vivian Bartlett, OBE (born 1958) is a British director, performer, translator and writer. He was one of the founding members of Gloria, a production company established in 1988 to produce his work along with that of Nicolas Bloomfield, Leah Hausman and Simon Mellor.
Xenon hexafluoroplatinate is the product of the reaction of platinum hexafluoride with xenon, in an experiment that proved the chemical reactivity of the noble gases.This experiment was performed by Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia, who formulated the product as "Xe + [PtF 6] −", although subsequent work suggests that Bartlett's product was probably a salt mixture and did ...
The first published report, in June 1962, of a noble gas compound was by Neil Bartlett, who noticed that the highly oxidising compound platinum hexafluoride ionised O 2 to O + 2. As the ionisation energy of O 2 to O + 2 (1165 kJ mol −1) is nearly equal to the ionisation energy of Xe to Xe + (1170 kJ mol −1), he tried the reaction of Xe with ...

2, whose first ionization potential is 12.2 eV, led Neil Bartlett to correctly surmise that it might be able to oxidise xenon (first ionization potential 12.13 eV). This led to the discovery of xenon hexafluoroplatinate , [ 2 ] which proved that the noble gases , previously thought to be inert, are able to form chemical compounds.
