Question:

(a) The reaction of ReCl4 and PCl5 at 570K under vacuum gives [PCl4]2[Re2Cl10]. However, when ReCl5 reacts with an excess of PCl5 at 520 K, the products are [PCl4]3[ReCl6]2 and Cl2. Comment on the nature of [PCl4]3[ReCl6]2 and write equations for both reactions, paying attention to the oxidation states of P and Re.

(b) The 19F NMR spectrum of [Me4N][ fac-OsO3F3] exhibits one signal with satellites (J = 32 Hz). What is the origin of the satellite peaks? Sketch the spectrum and indicate clearly the nature of the coupling pattern. Show where J is measured.
