The reactions of the atomic oxygen radical anion O-with CH3--S--CH2--CN m the gas phase have been examined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance in combination with tandem mass spectrometric experiments performed with a double-focusmg quadrupole hybrid mstrument. Deuterium labelmg has revealed that the O-ion reacts with CH3--S--CH2--CN by proton abstraction from the methylene group as well as by competing 1,1-and 1,3-H~ abstractions to afford isomeric radical anions. High kinetic energy (8 keV) collision-induced charge reversal experiments mdicate that the 1,1-H~-'-abstraction leads to a CHB--S--C'--CN carbene ion, whereas the 1,3-H~ abstraction yields a novel sulfur-containing distomc radical anion, wt'uch is formulated as "CH2--S--CH--CN.
