Abstract

The structure and stability of B2F2 molecule have been predicated by means of ab initio molecular orbital methods. The results show that the linear FBBF that has D∞h symmetry and 3Σg electronic state is the most stable isomer. The F-B and B-B bond distances are 0. 129 42 and 0. 148 20 nm at UCCSD(T, full)/6-311+G(2df/) level of theory, respectively. The vibrational frequencies appear at 1 860. 00 cm-1 and 1 320. 62 cm-1. The dimerization enthalpy of BF(1Σ+g) and vertical ionic potential of the linear FBBF at UQCISD(T,full)/6-311+G(2df)// UMP2(full)/6-311+G(d)+ΔZPVE level of theory are 59. 86 and 848. 58 kJ/mol, respectively.
