If i'm not mistaken, and I probably am, xenon hexaflouride, or hexoflouroxenon, is a special case of molecular geometry. Since it has six fluoride ligands and one lone pair of electrons, it takes on the shape of a slightly distorted octahedron.

Hi, i think it has one lone pair and hybridisation is SP3d3.
