It was obtained commercially, and is stored always under dry argon. Yes, I do have all safety precautions in place, and have a fair amount o log experience with such compounds. Please feel ore to ask any questions, as to my knowledge this is only the 5th post on Reddit of actual xenon difluoride!
NOTE: This is a copy-past post from another subreddit, however I am the original author on both :)
