Thin solid xenon targets were prepared by condensing xenon gas on iron at 4.2 K. First $2^{+}$ levels of ${}_{}{}^{124-132}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Xe}$ were Coulomb excited and recoil implanted into the polarized iron foils. $B\left(E2\mathrm{}\uparrow \right)$ values and $g$ factors were determined from excitation and perturbed angular correlation data, respectively, and are in reasonable agreement with collective model calculations. A value for the average hyperfine field on xenon implanted into iron under these experimental conditions was determined to be $H_{\mathrm{eff}}=1.40\mathrm{}\pm 0.37$ MOe.
