ResumoThe photoionization efficiency spectrum of supersonically cooled CH2Br has been measured near its ionization threshold. The adiabatic ionization energy (IE) of CH2Br is determined to be 8.61±0.01 eV, in excellent agreement with the value obtained previously using the He i photoelectron spectroscopic method. We have also performed Gaussian-2 (G2) calculations on CH2Br+, CH2Br, and CH2Br− which yield values of 8.47 and 0.97 eV for the IE and electron affinity of CH2Br, respectively. The G2 electron affinity is in accord with the literature value of 1.0±0.3 eV calculated from the acidity of CH3Br.
