We have studied symmetry breaking in three open-shell systems: CF4+ (D2d and C2v) and CF32+ (D3h) molecular ions. These different Hartree-Fock solutions are employed as starting points to calculate the correlation energy of these ions with perturbative, configuration interaction, and density functional methods. When symmetry-broken or symmetry-adapted wave functions are used, the correlation energy obtained with each method changes the order of stability of CF4+ for a determined symmetry. Density functional methods produce higher correlation energies although they do not alter the order of stability of Hartree-Fock calculations. The behavior of correlation energy with different methods and the characteristics of the symmetry of wave functions are compared. A study of appearance energies for three different channels of the decomposition reaction of ionized carbon tetrafluoride are considered by using different methods with symmetry-broken or symmetry-adapted wave functions to calculate correlation energies. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
