The HgF radical has been generated by photolysis during the codeposition reaction of Hg atoms and F/sub 2/(g) in an argon matrix at 12 K. The magnetic parameters are g(/sub parallel/) = 1.993(1), g/sub perpendicular/ = 1.961(1); A/sub parallel/ (/sup 19/F) = 1344(10) MHz, A/sub perpendicular/ (/sup 19/F) = 195(5), A/sub parallel/ (/sup 199/Hg) = 22 622(10), A/sub perpendicular/(/sup 199/Hg) = 21 880(8), A/sub parallel/ (/sup 201/Hg) = 8055(12), A/sub perpendicular/ (/sup 201/Hg) = 7760(10). Utilizing the g and A tensor data, the electronic structure of HgF is compared to the other MF radicals studied.
