Abstract
Optimum geometries and harmonic frequencies calculated at the HartreeโFock and the MP2 level are reported for the fluorohydrocarbon CHF~2~CH~3~; basis sets employed range from STOโ3G to 6โ311G**. The significantly shortened C๏ฃฟC distance of 1.50 ร is reproduced already with the simplest splitโvalence basis set; the C๏ฃฟF distance of 1.36 ร on the other hand needs MP2 correction at least at the doubleโฮถ or 6โ311G* level. Symmetry coordinates defined in terms of internal coordinates are in qualitative agreement with available experimental evidence. Even the best basis set yields frequencies that differ from experimental (anharmonic) values by up to 200 cm^โ1^ indicating the wellโknown necessity of including higherโorder force constants if quantitative agreement with experiment is to be achieved.
