- Relevant quotes from doi:10.1021/cr60234a003: "Solutions of Xe(VI) are nonconducting, indicating that XeO3 exists in solution as an undissociated species... Xe(VI) solutions are very weak acids. In strong base the predominant VI species has been postulated to be HXeO4–, although this species may possibly be hydrated." —Keenan Pepper 02:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
