Compounds with a see-saw or T-shaped molecular geometry also have this electron-pair geometry.
The most stable 18-electron complex prepared by reacting neutral iron metal with carbon monoxide has this geometry. Crystal field theory predicts this geometry's d-orbital splitting to have three levels: dxz and dyz degenerate in the lowest level, dxy and d-x-squared-y-squared in the middle level, and dz-squared fully anti-bonding in the highest level. Berry pseudorotation interchanges the two nonequivalent ligand environments in this geometry; those are axial and equatorial. Xenon difluoride has its central electron pairs arranged in this geometry. Compounds with a see-saw or T-shaped molecular geometry also have this electron-pair geometry. Compounds with this geometry have a central atom with dsp3 hybridization. For 10 points, name this molecular geometry taken by phosphorus pentafluoride.
