title: Comment on "theoretical acquirement of the red shift of nu(F-H) upon complexation with Ne" by Guoqun Liu and Xianxi Zhang [Spectrochim. Acta Part A 69 (2008) 917-920].
abstract: This Comment shows that the agreement between theory and experiment for the vibrational red shift of the FH stretch upon complexation with Ne claimed by the authors of the captioned manuscript is not justified and should be considered as merely fortuitous.
