What is it about?
Over the years, there has been exciting progress in noble-gas chemistry in the gaseous, liquid and ‘supercritical’ phases of matter, at high pressures, and in solid matrices at low temperatures. This contribution actually provide an overview of the strategies employed to prepare noble gas anions under different environments and experimental conditions, and of the bonding motifs typically occurring in these species. Observed systems include anions fixed into synthesized salts, detected in the gas phase or in high-pressure devices.

Why is it important?
The major role of the theoretical calculations is also highlighted, not only in support of the experiments, but also as effective in predicting still unreported species. The chemistry of noble gas anions overall appears as a varied and rich paint, offering fascinating opportunities for both experimentalists and theoreticians.
Perspectives
The chemistry of noble gas anions currently appears as a variegated paint that invites the interest of both experimentalists and theoreticians. We hope that the contents of this review will help the reader to best appreciate the novelty and the implications of the new achievements reasonably expected to come in the next future.
