Abstract The equilibrium structure of silyl fluoride, SiH 3 F, has been reinvestigated using both theoretical and experimental data. With respect to the former, quantum-chemical calculations at the coupled-cluster level have been employed together with extrapolation to the basis set limit, consideration of higher excitations in the cluster operator, and inclusion of core correlation as well as relativistic corrections ( r (Si–F) = 1.5911 A, r (Si–H) = 1.4695 A, and ∠FSiH = 108.30°). A semi-experimental equilibrium structure has been determined based on the available rotational constants for the various isotopic species of silyl fluoride ( 28 SiH 3 F, 28 SiD 3 F, 29 SiH 3 F, 29 SiD 3 F, 30 SiH 3 F, 30 SiD 3 F, 28 SiH 2 DF, and 28 SiHD 2 F) together with computed vibrational corrections to the rotational constants ( r (Si–F) = 1.59048(6) A, r (Si–H) = 1.46948(9) A, and ∠FSiH = 108.304(9)°).
