Abstract
The photophysical properties of trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride (SF5CF3) are investigated with the HF, MP2, CIS, CC2, and TDDFT electronic structure theory methods. The potential-energy surface of the nearly degenerate pair of the lowest excited singlet states is found to be repulsive for stretching of the C-S and S-F bonds. The implications of these theoretical findings for the photophysical reactivity and photostability of the title compound in the atmosphere are discussed.
