Both CD2OH and CD3O were prepared in situ by the reaction of F atoms with CD3OH, and studied by photoionization mass spectrometry. The adiabatic ionization potential (I.P.) of CD2OH was found to be 7.540±0.006 eV, in good agreement with the photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) value, 7.55±0.01 eV. However, the adiabatic I.P. of CD3O was determined to be 10.726±0.008 eV, in marked contrast to the PES value for CH3O, 7.37±0.03 eV, but in the expected range based on reported values of ΔH0f(CH3O+) and ΔH0f(CH3O). From selected values of ΔH0f0(CH2OH+) ≤172.0±0.7 kcal/mol and ΔH0f0(CH3O) =5.9±1.0 kcal/mol, we deduce ΔH0f0(CH2OH) ≤−2.1±0.7 kcal/mol and ΔH0f0(CH3O+) =253.1±1.0 kcal/mol.

Furthermore, Tanaka, Mackay, and Bohme prefer as a standard, based on the appearance potential of from already discussed (Ref. 14). Additional confusion is introduced for since Tanaka, Mackay, and Bohme appear to use the thermal electron convention, while Lias et al. (Ref. 16) use the stationary electron convention. If one takes and from Ref. 16, one obtains or 169.4 kcal/ mol. Tanaka, Mackay, and Bohme appear to have combined a stationary electron convention value for with a thermal electron convention value for to obtain 18.
