Problem

The structures of [NMe4][RF2J and fNMe4][H2F3J have been determined by X-ray diffraction....

The structures of [NMe4][RF2J and fNMe4][H2F3J have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The table below shows selected structural data; all F-H-F angles are between 175 and 178°.

Parameter

[NMe4J[HF2]

[NMe41[H2F.,]

F-H distances

112.9/112.9 pm

89/143 pm

F—F—F angles

-

125.9°

From the data given, draw the structures of the anions in [NMe4][HF2] and [NMe4][H2F3l, and say what you can about the bonding in these species.
