The fluorosulfate anion [FSO3] can act in either a non-coordinating (1a) or bridging bidentate mode (1b) towards metals: FS FS M M (1a) (1b) (i) Identify the point groups for each mode then using appropriate S-O vectors, obtain a reducible representation and hence derive the irreducible representation (symmetry labels) for the S-O stretching modes associated with each bond type. (ii) K[FSO3] exhibits infrared bands at 1287 cm and 1082 cm-¹ associated with the S-O stretching modes. What bonding mode is adopted by the anion in this species? Justify your answer.
