The isotropic (a\(_{iso}\)) and dipolar (A\(_{dip}\)) hyperfine coupling constants of 19F2 were obtained from MRD-CI wave functions using a variety of basis sets. In series I, increasing numbers of d functions were added to a 5s4p contracted Huzinaga!Dunning basis. In series II, the 5s3p basis set was uncontracted in several steps until 9s5p was reached, to which were added from one to three d-polarization functions. Cl parameters (selectioo threshoids and the number of reference coofiguratioos) were also varied. A study of the R dependence of aiso and Adip was perfonned. The best values obtained at R\(_e\) are 260 G for a\(_{iso}\) and 308 G for A\(_{dip}\)• compared with experimental values of about 280 G for a;10 and 320 G for A\(_{dip}\)·
Potential energy and spectroscopic constants for the X\(^2 \sum^+ _\mu\) ground state of a;, were calculated by configuration-interaction (Cl) methods, using large basis sets with polarization and diffuse functions. From these CI wavefunctions, the isotropic (a\(_{iso}\)) and dipolar (A\(_{dip}\)) components of the hyperfine coupling constant were obtained. The effects of various s, p basis sets, polarization and diffuse functions, as well as the influence of reference configurations and configuration selection thresholds were investigated. The best values obtained are 35·31 G for a\(_{iso}\) and 29·440 for A\(_{dip}\)• tobe compared with experimental values of 37 ± 1 G and 32 ± 1 G, respectively. It is shown that the contributions to a1so of the K and L shells are opposite in sign, differing by about 4 G. Upon vibrational averaging, both a\(_{iso}\) and A\(_{dip}\) move towards smaller values as v increases. An adiabatic electron affinity of 2·46eV was obtained for CL\(_2\) , and a vertical electron detachment energy of 3·71 eV for Cl;.
