How to compare P=O bond length of POF3, POCl3, POBr3 and PO(CH3)3 molecules?

All the given molecules have same hybridization (sp3) and same central atom (P) the we can apply Bent’s rule of hybridization. And according to Bent’s rule more electronegative atoms attach in those hybrid orbital’s which have less s-character or more electronegative atoms decreases s-character and increases p-character.

In case of POF3  fluorine is more electronegative hence s-character  is increase more and more in P=O bond  as compare to other given molecules so P=O bond is shortest in POF3  than others and also increase with decreasing electronegativity.  Hence P=O bond length order is x1 < x2 < x3 < x4
