X-ray crystal structures of ClOF3 and BrOF3 have been determined.
a. Would you expect the lone pair on the central halogen to be axial or equatorial in these molecules? Why?
b. Which molecule would you predict to have the smaller Fequatorialicentral atom—oxygen angle? Explain your reasoning. (See A. Ellern, J. A. Boatz, K. O. Christe, T. Drews, K. Seppelt, Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem ., 2002 , 628 , 1991.)
