The authors report molecular orbital calculations and experimental observations of the vibrational properties of CHF{sub 2} and CDF{sub 2} radicals and cations. This molecule is a reaction product of the atmospheric reaction of OH with CH{sub 2}F{sub 2}. REMPI measurements provide vibrational frequencies for the molecules, along with spectroscopic constants. Calculations give information on the structure, bond lengths and bond angles.
