Conclusions
-
1.
The discrete variation method (DVXβM) has been used to calculate the ionization potentials (IP) of the valence levels of the chlorine fluorides ClF, ClF2 −, ClF3, and ClF5.
-
2.
For the ClF and ClF3 molecules the bands in the photoelectron spectra are correctly attributed; the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental IP does not exceed 0.7 eV.
-
3.
The sequence and values of the IP are theoretically predicted for ClF2 − and ClF5.
