Ab Initio calculation of molecular, thermodynamic, and kinetic parameters of CF, CF2, CF3, and C2F5 radicals and CF4, CF3I, C2F4, and C2F6 molecules in gas

Enthalpies of formation of ground states of the gaseous particles CF, CF₂, C₂F₅, CF₄, CF₃I, C₂F₄, and C₂F₆ were calculated by ab initio method in the CCSD(T) approximation with extrapolation to the full basis and regard to the correlation energy. Their equilibrium geometrics, frequencies of normal vibrations, and other values were found by the B3LYP/aug-cc-pvdz method, from which thermodynamic functions within the range of 0–6000 K were calculated. Equilibrium constants were calculated from these functions, and then the information on the rate constants in the limit of high pressures was obtained.
