Electron diffraction and spectroscopic studies of mixed fluoro/chloro phosphorus pentahali...

Electron diffraction and spectroscopic studies of mixed fluoro/chloro phosphorus pentahalides are consistent with trigonal bipyramidal structures in which the most electronegative halogens occupy the axial positions. Confirm that this statement is in agreement with PCI3F2, PC12F3 and PC1F4 having D'ih, C2v and C2v symmetries, respectively. Draw the structure of each compound and state whether the compound is polar.
