The low energy photoionization spectrum of propyne (CH3鈥揅CH), which reveals the vibronic structure of the propyne cation, is simulated using vibronic coupling theory. The spin鈥搊rbit interaction is included using an intensity borrowing approach, enabling determination of the (X̃2E1/2,3/2, v = 0) splitting and the relative photoionization intensity of these closely spaced levels. The results are compared with recent experimental studies and misstatements are corrected.
