Ab initio calculation of the mobility of F-in helium

Abstract
The mobility of F- in helium has been calculated using the two-temperature theory of ion transport. The interaction potential required by this theory was calculated at the MP4SDQ/6-311+G(3df, 3pd) level of theory. In order for the theoretical results to fall within the experimental error of the corresponding experimental results, a high level of theory is required in the calculation of the interaction potential.
