Lanthanide trifluorides, atomization energies

Fig. 12. Atomization energies for the lanthanide trifluorides ftom pseu-dopotentiai configuration interaction calculations (calc.) in comparison to experimental data (exp.). Data taken from Dolg et al. (1989c, 1991b).

The data obtained allowed us to calculate the atomization energies of gaseous lanthanide trifluorides using the enthalpies of formation of lanthanides themselves and atomic fluorine from IVTANTERMO (2004) as well as the enthalpies of formation of crystalline lanthanide trifluorides from Kovacs and Konings (2003), as the reliability of the latter data is beyond doubt. The enthalpies of formation and of atomization are collected in Table 18.
