Abstract
The authors consider an XPF4 molecule, whose equilibrium configuration has two inequivalent positions for the F nuclei, viz., in the plane of the triangle (equatorial) and on a straight line perpendicular to this plane (axial). It has been firmly established that in the molecule under consideration there is motion of great amplitude, which has been termed Berry pseudorotation and which transfers an F nucleus from an equatorial position to an axial position and vice versa. They stress that the F nuclei do not exchange places with one another in space during Berry pseudorotation.
