Gaussian-2 ab initio method was performed to examine the five modes of unimolecular dissociation of CH3SCH2+ (1+) and CH2CHSH2+ (5+): 1+→CH3+H2CS+ (1); 1+→CH3++H2CS (2); 1+→CH4+HCS+ (3); 5+→H2S + [C2H3]+ (4); and 5+→H3S++C2H2 (5). Both reactions 1 and 2, with endothermicities 359 and 395 kJ mol−1 respectively, proceed without a reverse barrier. Loss of CH4 from 1+ (reaction 3) proceeds via a transition state resembling an ion–radical complex CH3/H2CS+. The elimination reaction has an energy barrier of 332 kJ mol−1. Loss of H2S from 5+ (reaction 4) initially proceeds through either cleavage of the C–S bond or formation of the ion–molecule complex H2S/[C2H3]+ (8+/9+), followed by dissociation of the complex. The endothermicity of reaction 4 is calculated to be 245–261 kJ mol−1. Reaction 5, the lowest energy process among the dissociation pathways studied in this work, proceeds via intermediates 9+ and H3S+/C2H2 (10+). Its rate-determining step 5+→9+ has an energy barrier of 220 kJ mol−1.
