Reaction of AsCl 3 with Cl 2 at low temperature yields a product, believed to be AsCl

Question:

Reaction of AsCl3 with Cl2 at low temperature yields a product, believed to be AsCl5, which shows Raman bands at 437, 369, 295, 220, 213, and 83 cm−1. Detailed analysis of the 369 and 295 cm−1 bands shows them to arise from totally symmetric modes. Show that the Raman spectrum is consistent with a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
