Popis: The mechanisms for the reactions of AlF with HCl have been characterized in detail using DFT as well as the ab initio method, including zero-point corrections. From the potential energy profile it can be predicted that the reaction process of forming the new Al(III) hydride HAlFCl compound for this reaction is spontaneous with a low activation energy barrier. The reaction yielding to AlFCl2 and molecular hydrogen was calculated to be highly exothermic. The present calculations also show that the possible routes to the trihalides species start more favorable with the primary insertion products.
