Monofluoroamine (NH2F)
The geometry optimizations for the three highest levels of theory are shown below. The following views show both the bond lengths and angles.



6-21G was the lowest level of theory used for geometry optimization.

6-31G was the next highest level of theory used for geometry optimization.


DZV was the highest level of theory used for geometry optimization.

In Table 1, the bond lengths can be compared to their literature values. Table 2 can be used to compare the bond angles.5

The partial atomic charge on each atom is shown here. They are created by the asymmetric distribution of electrons in a chemical bond.

This is the highest occupied molecular orbital at orbital seven. The orbitals were determined by totaling the number of electron in the molecule and dividing by two.

This is the lowest occupied molecular orbital at orbital eight. This orbital would be the next occupied if the molecule were excited with an adequate amount of energy.

This is the electrostatic potential of the molecule. The red areas represent the lowest potentials and blue represent the highest potentials. Intermediate colors represent intermediate potentials.

The vibrational frequencies were calculated using the highest level of theory. These frequencies would be the peaks on an infrared spectroscopy spectrum of monofluoroamine. Table 3 lists these frequencies in comparison with literature values.6

The following buttons show the calculated vibrational frequencies using DZV. Clicking them will show each type of vibration for the molecule.







The dipole moment was calculated at five different levels of theory to determine the best value. The best theory was DZV with a diffusion of 100 which gave 2.610 debyes. When compared the a literature value of 2.615 debyes, the error was 0.191%.7 Table 4 lists the results from each theory.
