The ground and low-lying excited state potential energy curves of neodymium monofluoride were calculated using multireference (CASSCF) and single reference (EOM-CR-CCSD(T)) methods. Optimized bond lengths were obtained and accurate bond dissociation energies were computed. The EOM-CR-CCSD(T) method was used to determine the bond dissociation energy of lutetium monofluoride, and it is shown that core correlation is required to produce bond dissociation energies in agreement with experiment.
