β¦ Synopsis
Ab initio calculations at the G2 level of theory have been used to predict an energy difference between the mercaptomethyl (CHzSH+, 1) and thiomethoxy (CHrS+, 2) cations of 131 kJ mol-' in favour of 1. Reasons for the discrepancy with a recent experimental estimate of 163-172 kJ mol-' are explored. Calculated heats of formation (AIf,,; AHrags) for CH2S ( 12 1; 117 kJ mol-'), CH,S (129; 122 kJ mol-'), CHsS+ (1015; 1008 kJ mol-') andCH,SH+ (884; 876 kJ mol-') are presented.

## Abstract The rate coefficient for NH~2~ + CH~4~ β NH~3~ + CH~3~ (R1) has been measured in a shock tube in the temperature range 1591β2084 K using FM spectroscopy to monitor NH~2~ radicals. The measurements are combined with a calculation of the potential energy surface and canonical transition s
