Title：Role of Noble Gas in Binding Ability of 
       Metal Cyanides, Halides and Oxides (Metal = 
       Cu, Ag, Au): A Computational Investigation

Abstract：
Reactivity of noble gas has been a challenge to 
chemists for a very long time. Though the 
theoretical predictions regarding their existence 
were made as early as 1916, however, the news 
regarding first experimentally obtained compound 
appeared only in 1962. Since then theory and 
experimentalist have been contributing to the 
design and synthesis of novel noble gas compounds.

In this seminar, I wish to initially present a 
brief history of discovery of noble gas and their 
compounds, and, later discuss about the newly 
designed noble gas compounds. The nature of 
bonding shall be discussed based on the results 
obtained with Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA) 
and Atoms-In-Molecule (AIM) approach. The focus 
shall be mainly on interaction of different noble 
gas with noble metals (Cu, Ag, Au).
