A three-dimensional potential energy surface of the ground electronic state HArF is constructed from more than 2000 ab initio points at the multireference averaged quadratic coupled-cluster level employing an augmented large basis set. The calculations indicate that the linear HArF molecule is metastable with a barrier of 0.643 eV in the atomization (HArF --> H + Ar + F) channel and a barrier of 1.017 eV in the dissociation (HArF --> Ar + HF) channel. Variational calculations of low-lying predissociative resonances of both HArF and DArF are performed on the three-dimensional potential energy surface using a complex-symmetric Lanczos propagation method, which yields both positions and widths of the resonance states. The resonance lifetime generally decreases with energy, but strong mode selectivity exists. Reasonably good agreement with experiment confirms the accuracy of our potential. These calculations provide valuable information on the stability and dynamics of HArF/DArF in its ground electronic state.
