Partial and total dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients for fluorine-like ions forming neon-like systems have been calculated as part of the assembly a final-state level-resolved DR database necessary modelling dynamic finite-density plasmas (Badnell et al. 2003). Calculations performed both ground metastable initial states Ne to Zn21+, well Kr27+, Mo33+, Xe45+. Results selection are presented discussed. We find that low-temperature DR, via 2 → core excitations involving no change in principal quantum number electron, does not scale smoothly with nuclear charge Z due resonances straddling ionization limit recombined system, thereby making explicit calculations each ion necessary. Most earlier neglected contributions from fine-structure 2p3/2 − 2p1/2 excitation which has shown be very important coefficients. The data suitable solar cosmic under conditions collisional equilibrium, photoionization non-equilibrium ionization.
