Abstract :
Hypervalent molecules of Li3F and Li4F were detected experimentally for the first time. Ionization energies determined by the thermal ionization mass spectrometry were 3.8 ± 0.2 eV for Li2F, 4.0 ± 0.2 eV for Li3F and 3.9 ± 0.2 eV for Li4F. The ionization energies obtained by ab initio calculations support the experimental findings. The lowest energy structures of the LinF (n = 2–4) molecules and their cations were also predicted.
