Question:

(a) The reaction of XeF2 with RuF5 at 390K results in the formation of a compound, the Raman spectrum of which is similar to that of CsRuF6 but with an additional band at 600 cm–1. Rationalize these data.

(b) When the product of the reaction in part (a) reacts with excess F2 at 620 K, a compound of molecular formula RuXeF11 is formed. The compound is monomeric in the solid state. Propose a structure for this product.
