When RhBr 3 in the presence of MePh 2 As is treated with H 3 PO 2

Question:

When RhBr₃ in the presence of MePh₂As is treated with H₃PO₂, a monomeric compound X is formed. X contains 2Br and 3MePh₂As per Rh, and is a non-electrolyte. Its IR spectrum has a band at 2073 cm⁻¹, and the corresponding band if the complex is made using D₃PO₂ in a deuterated solvent is 1483 cm⁻¹. Spectrophotometric titration of X with Br₂ shows that one molecule of X reacts with one molecule of Br₂; treating the product with excess mineral acid regenerates RhBr₃. What can you conclude about the products?
