Determination of the energy characteristics of the reactions UF6 ↔ UF5 + F and UF6 ↔ UF4 + F2

Quantum-mechanical methods are used to assess the energy barriers to dissociation and recombination reactions of UF6 ↔ UF5 + F and UF6 ↔ UF4 + F2. The energy characteristics of these reactions are found to be strongly asymmetric: the dissociation reaction barriers exceed the recombination reactions...
