Reaction of KrF2 with AsF5 at temperatures between -78 and -53°C yields [KrF] [AsF6], a compound in which KrF+ interacts strongly with AsF6 - through a fluorine bridge, as shown. Would you predict the Kr – F bond to be shorter in KrF+ or in KrF2? Provide a brief explanation. (See J. F. Lehmann, D. A. Dixon, G. J. Schrobilgen, Inorg. Chem., 2001 , 40 , 3002.)
