Ab initio MO calculations on the methyl dithiofonnate system show that the corresponding radical cation has a a-ground electronic state in contrast with the interpretation recently given by Rhodes (J. Chem. Sot. Chem. Commun. ( 1988) 1477) from an ESR study on the ethyl dithioacetate radical cation.

It is argued that the question of whether the o of n state of the ethyl dithioacetate radical cation is formed in solid CFCI, at 77 K remains unresolved.

The Comment by Claxton, Graham and Symons is based on an incorrect value for the proton hyperfine coupling in the CHzMu group of the muonated ethyl radical.
We clarify the meaning of the term "unimolecular fragmentation". Apparently, there is some confusion relating to our use of the term "unimolecular fragmentation" in our previous paper [ 11. We must emphasize that we do not mean to imply that solvated daughter ions are
