These are many compounds which are exceptions to the octet rule. But they are stable and do exist. This is one of the main limitation of the octet rule.

Synthesis proceeds by the simple reaction: Xe + F2 → XeF2

 

XeOF2 is formed by the reaction of OF2 with xenon gas at low temperatures. It may also be obtained by the partial hydrolysis of XeF4
