This paper is my first collaboration with Prof Frank De Proft, of the University of Brussels. It involves the investigation of a subtle trend in the negative electron affinities of a series of fluorinated ethylene derivatives, using theoretical techniques developed to describe negative affinities. It was highlighted that simple electron-confinement techniques can yield high-quality trends. It also highlighted a problem with electron binding, which will be the subject of a forthcoming paper.
Further information, including details of subsequent work in this area, can be found on the research page. For the abstract, and access to the full text, see below.
