Abstract
Gas-phase phosphorus pentachloride is a trigonal bipyramid with axial bonds 0.10 4±0.01 Å (e.s.d.) longer than equatorial bonds. The mean bond lengths are 2.061±0.002 Å. Amplitudes of vibration were determined, resolving the ambiguity in the e 1' bending assignments in favor of v(axial bend) > v(equatorial in-plane bend). Structural and vibrational features were in accord with Gillespie-Nyholm theory.
