Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The adiabatic electron affinities (AEAs), vertical electron affinities (VEAs), and vertical detachment energies (VDEs) of linear-chain perfluoroalkanes (PFAs), n-C F (n = 2-8) are predicted using carefully calibrated computational methods (Chem. Rev. 2002, 102, 231). Density functional theoretical methods and hybrid Hartree-Fock/density functional methods have been used with double-ζ-quality basis sets with polarization and diffuse functions, DZP++. Vibrational frequency analyses were performed to compute the zero-point energy corrections and determine the nature of the stationary points. The estimated adiabatic electron affinities of linear-chain PFAs (C F ), from n = 3 to n = 8, turn out to be appreciable, ranging from 0.26 to 0.58 eV (B3LYP/DZP++ method). The corresponding zero-point-corrected values are a bit larger, ranging from 0.39 to 0.71 eV. C F is the only n-PFA exhibiting a negative adiabatic electron affinity. The trends in AEAs of the n-PFA show that the AEA increases with increasing chain length until n = 7 and then slightly decreases at n = 8. The VEAs of all the linear chain PFAs are negative. VEAs increase with increasing length of the linear-chain PFAs. The VDEs indicate that all the straight-chain PFA anions considered are bound with respect to electron loss. It was also observed that PFA molecules show enhanced AEAs when they are branched. The presence of tertiary C-F bonds in PFAs results in high AEAs compared to those of their straight-chain counterparts.
