Pseudo Jahn-Teller Origin of the Proton-transfer Energy Barrier in the Hydrogen-bonded [FHF]-System

The results of ab initio calculations of the adiabatic potential energy surfaces for the proton-bound [FHF]- system at different F-F distances have been rationalized in the framework of the vibronic theory. It is shown that the instability of the symmetric D∞h structure at increased F∙∙∙F distances...
