Well correlated ab initio electornicstructure calculations have been used to investigate the structure of the trifluoride ion. It is calculated to be stable with respect to F" and F2 by about 11 kcal/mol. While this represents a relatively weak bonding of F^ to F2 to form F3~, a significant interaction is evidenced by a 0.3-Á lengthening of the F2 bond (from 1.41 to 1.70 Á) upon forming the D „h F3~. This lengthening of the FF bond distance decreases the repulsive-type interactions of the unshared electron pairs of the fluorines of F2, and it is postulated that this provides a major stabilizing influence on the symmetricaltrifluoride ion. The calculated centrosymmetricequilibrium structure, along with the calculated vibrational constants, is generally consistent with matrix isolation experiments reported earlier by Ault and Andrews. The nature of the bonding in this unique main group hypervalent molecule is discussed.
