The temperaturedependence of the 81P nmr spectra of (CH3) 2NPF4 (1), C1PF4, and CH3PF4has been examined. The interchange of axial and equatorial fluorinesin (CH3) 2NPF4 and C1PF4 follows the permutational scheme expected for Berry pseudorotation; viz., both axial and equatorial fluorine atoms interchange at the same time. The rate of pseudorotation of 1 is independent of the concentration of 1 but is catalyzed by THF and (CH3) 20. The free energy of activation for pseudorotation of 1 in CHC12F is AG*= 8.8±0.2 kcal/mol at—85, and for C1PF4 in CHC12F is AG*~ 4.2±0.3 kcal/mol at—177. Combination of these rates with data obtained by others indicates that the relative rates of pseudorotation of compounds having the composition XPF4 increases in the order (CH3) 2N< SR, H< Cl< CH3, F. A new procedure has been developedwhich permits calculation of the influence of an intermediate present in low concentration along the pseudorotation coordinate for 1 on its spectrum. This procedure establishes that the influence of a single intermediatein equilibrium with two ground states can in general be described exactly by incorporation of only one further operator, called the “transfer opera-tor” A, into the usual Kaplan-Alexander equation of motion of the nuclear spin system. Application of this pro-cedure to the spectrum of 1 indicates that even if a square pyramid were an intermediate along the pseudorotation coordinate, it would not be possible to detect it by nmr line shape analysis at presently accessible spectral resolution.
