" can also form dimers with other elements, such as the halogens bromine, chlorine and flourine.  

 I'm posting here first because I'm no expert and I thought it could use some review and improvement (within the context and guidelines of wikipedia, of course =). Any thoughts? Thank you.—   

 :I'm not an excimer expert either, but the text looks reasonable. The only thing I suggest adding are a couple of examples of heteroatomic excimers/exciplexes, such as with halogens. (A xenon dimer is arguably not a compound, after all!)    
 ::Thank you.—

 ==Radon fluoride== 
 I know this isn't essential to the article, but in the history part, it is mentioned some noble gas compounds, among them radon fluoride. The link leads to radon difluoride. For the other compounds the formula is also given. I would not change anything, since the reference is named ""radon fluoride"". I know this isn't essential to the article, just asking...    
 :The link is pointing to the correct location. Unfortunately, an editor performed a move to radon difluoride. The correction would need to be made to the redirect, rather than here. I.e. somebody would need to write an article on radon fluoride. There also exists xenon tetra-  and hexafluoride, so perhaps there needs to be a more general article on the subject?—   
 ::Thanks, it was really helpful. I'll see what could be done to the redirect.    
 :::The reference say they make a radon fluoride, of unknown composition. It may well have been the difluoride; I'd have to check if it was identified it in a subsequent publication.    

 == Characteristics statement is incorrect. == 

 The statement that the purplish color of xenon in a neon-light being caused by high amounts of blue, I believe, is false. According to these references, https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/1811/5654/1/V71N06_343.pdf , and A Comparison of Rare-Gas Flashlamps – J. R. Oliver and F. S. Barnes I.E.E.E. Journal of Quantum Electronics, at very low current densities, like those in a neon light, most of xenon's energy is focused in the near infrared, withthe strongest peaks being from 800 to 1000 nanometers, against a background of rather evenly distributed continuum radiation, (white light), that gets fainter as it approaches the blue. The purplish color is caused by the eye's ability, (albeit, just barely), to image the very heavy near-IR output between 750 and 800nm. As quoted from the Oliver/Barnes study: ""light from a xenon lamp has an irregular 
 but continuous spectrum. [] The spectral distribution 
 curves of xenon-lamp radiation at lower current densities usually show a 
 considerable amount of energy in the near-infrared region. An increase in the current density may favor the visible and the ultraviolet 
 regions at the expense of the near-infrared radiation."" So higher current densities, like those found in flashlamps and arc lamps, produce greybody radiation that is centered in the green, (producing white light), and even higher densities produce blackbody radiation that is centered in the blue. As current densities increase, xenon's spectrum will settle on that of a blackbody radiator with a color temperature of 9800 degrees kelvin, (sort of sky-blue), as referenced in this source: http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com/content/RelatedLinks/CAT_flash.pdf .
