Abstract Non-empirical SCF-MO calculations were carried out on two limiting structures of C2H4F+, corresponding to the cyclic and open valence tautomers, both of which are possible reaction intermediates of the electrophilic addition reaction of F2 to CH2 =CH2. It was found that both species had thermodynamic stability, corresponding to two distinct minima on the energy surface. However, the 2-fluoroethyl carbonium ion showed a greater stability than the fluoronium ion by about 10 kcal/mole.
