A new partially structured photoelectron band appearing early in the F + CH3SCH 3 reaction has been assigned to the primary reaction product, CH3SCH2. This band, with adiabatic and vertical ionisation energies of 6.85+/-0.03 and 7.16+/-0.03 eV, respectively, shows structure in two vibrational modes, with omega1 = 870 +/- 70 cm-1 and omega2 = 390 +/- 100 cm-1, which can be assigned to the S-CH2 stretch and the C-S-C deformation modes of the ion. These assignments are consistent with the results of ab-initio calculations conducted at the SCF and MP2 levels.
