We investigate the formation mechanism of HXeCCXeH in a Xe matrix. Our experimental results show that the HXeCCXeH molecules are formed in the secondary reactions involving HXeCC radicals. The experimental data on the formation of HXeCCXeH is fully explained based on the model involving the HXeCC+Xe+H-->HXeCCXeH reaction. This reaction is the first case when a noble-gas hydride molecule is formed from another noble-gas molecule. In addition, we investigate the C-12/C-13 isotope effect on the vibrational properties of organo-noble-gas hydrides (HKrCCH, HXeCCH, HXeCC, and HXeCCXeH) in noble-gas matrixes. The present experimental results and ab initio calculations on carbon isotope shifts of the vibrational modes support the previous assignments of these molecules. Upon C-12 to C-13 isotope substitution, we observed a pronounced effect on the H-Kr stretching mode of HKrCCH (downshift of 1.0-3.6 cm(-1), depending on the matrix site) and a small anomalous shift (+0.1 cm(-1)) of the H-Xe stretching mode of HXeCCH and HXeCCXeH.
