A comprehensive account is given of the chemistry of HF in interstellar clouds. Calculations are presented of the rate coefficients for the quenching of F(2P1/2) and for the reaction of F(2P3/2) atoms in collisions with H2. They confirm the conclusions of Neufeld and coworkers that gaseous fluorine exists in interstellar clouds almost entirely in the form of the molecule HF. Subject headings: astrochemistry — ISM: molecules — molecular data — molecular processes
