Ln-F bonds are examined using multireference methods.  Potential energy curves for the ground and excited states are computed for lanthanide fluoride diatomics and lanthanide trifluorides.  The impacts of static correlation, dynamical correlation, and spin-orbit coupling on the computed potential energy curves are presented for both the ground state and low-lying excited states.
