At low temperature. restricted rotation about the C-N bond can lead to additional isomers
as a consequence of the different substituents on the nitrogen. These isomers, which are
of the type in problem 9.1 1. can be observed by NMR.

9.20 The reF doublet is from the two axial fluorines (split by the equatorial fluorine).
The reF triplet is from the equatorial fluorine (split by the two axial fluorines).
The two doubly bonded oxygens are equatorial, as expected from VSEPRconsiderations.
