contents We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the ionization potentials of the MF (M= Ca, Sr, Ba) molecules using the state-of-the-art relativistic coupled cluster approach with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (CCSD(T)). We have further corrected our results for the higher order excitations (up to full triples) and the QED self energy and vacuum polarisation contributions. We have performed an extensive investigation of the effect of the various computational parameters on the calculated ionisation potentials, which allowed us to assign realistic uncertainties on our predictions. For CaF and BaF, where precise experiments are available, our predictions are in excellent agreement with the measured values. In case of SrF, we provide a new accurate prediction of the ionisation potential that deviates from the available experimental data, motivating further experimental investigations.
