(d) For the molecule AB2, discuss how you might use IR and Raman spectroscopy to determine the geometry (linear vs. bent) of the molecule and whether the molecule has a centre of symmetry. Include in your answer diagrams to illustrate the atom and bond motions involved in the normal vibrational modes of this molecule.

Vibrational spectroscopy has played a role in supporting the pentagonal bipyramidal structure of the ion IO2F5 2-.
