β¦ Synopsis
Ab initio calculations have been used to examine the energetics for the decomposition pathway CFsOH-CFsO+HF.
The heat of reaction is predicted to be 7.8 f 2 kcal mol-' and the zero-point adjusted potential energy barrier is 45.1 f 2 kcal mol-r at the QCISD (T ) /6-3 11 G( 2df, 2p) //MP2/6-3 11 G ( 2d, 2p) level of theory. The atmospheric implications of this result are discussed.

## Abstract __Hydrogen fluoride and water can be mixed in any proportion. The resulting solutions have unique acidic properties. In particular, hydrogen fluoride undergoes a weakβtoβstrong acidity transition with increasing concentration of HF. To supplement the knowledge already obtained on dilute
An ab initio 3-21G study of the direct addition of HF to C2H,F(4-,,, with n = 0 to 4, has been performed to investigate the effect of the substituent on the reaction. Geometry optimization of all charge-transfer complexes and transition states has been done. Standard analysis of activation energies
