Abstract
The structures and properties of UF 6 and UF 5 were studied. The study was carried out by using the Hartree-Fock approximation and three different types of density functions. The density function which were used to study the structures and properties include local spin-density approximation (LSDA), the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the hybrid density functional in combination with both 60-electron and 70-electron RECPs. It was found that the when the REPs comes to bonds distances and infrared vibrational frequencies the DFT functional agrees with experiment.
