The a-distonic sulphur-containing ion 'CH,&CH,), has been generated by transfer of CH: ' from ionized oxirane to dimethyl thioether and distinguished from the molecular ion of ethyl methyl thioether by collision induced dissociation (CID) experiments. In particular, the a-distonic ion expels CH, to
