Plane of Symmetry

Example, [SeCl6]2- , [TeCl6]2- ,and [BrF6]- are predicted to adopt pentagonal bipyramidal geometries according to VSEPR since the central atom can have seven electron pairs. However, due to the stereochemical inert pair effect, these molecules are found to be regular octahedral because one of the electron pairs is stereochemically inactive.
