Potential properties

The compound is calculated to be less stable than radon difluoride. Radon hexafluoride is expected to have an octahedral molecular geometry, unlike the C3v of xenon hexafluoride.{{Cite journal |last=Seppelt |first=Konrad |date=2015-01-28 |title=Molecular Hexafluorides |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/cr5001783 |journal=Chemical Reviews |language=en |volume=115 |issue=2 |pages=1296–1306 |doi=10.1021/cr5001783 |pmid=25418862 |issn=0009-2665|url-access=subscription }}{{cite journal |last1=Kang |first1=Jaeeun |last2=Park |first2=Ina |last3=Shim |first3=Ji Hoon |last4=Kim |first4=Duck Young |last5=Um |first5=Wooyong |title=Prediction of stable radon fluoride molecules and geometry optimization using first-principles calculations |journal=Scientific Reports |date=18 February 2023 |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=2898 |doi=10.1038/s41598-023-29313-5 |pmid=36801928 |pmc=9938903 |bibcode=2023NatSR..13.2898K |language=en |issn=2045-2322}}

The Rn-F bonds in radon hexafluoride is predicted to be shorter and more stable compared to Xe-F bonds in xenon hexafluoride.
