Appearance energies of sulphur fluoride ions and ionization energies of molecular orbitals

The structures of neutral SF_n ( n = 1÷6 ) molecules were calculated by ab initio methods of GAMESS software package. There ionization energies of molecular orbitals were also obtained in case of neutral molecules. There were made a comparative analyses based on the results of calculations of molecular orbitals’ ionization energies and the experimental appearance energies of SF_k⁺ ion fragments from SF_n molecules
