The pulsed-field-ionization (PFI) zero-kinetic-energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectra of CH4 and CD4 have been recorded in the region 100880–104100 cm−1. From the analysis of the photoelectron spectra the first adiabatic ionization potential of CH4 and CD4 has been determined to be (101773±35) cm−1 and (102210±25) cm−1, respectively. A one-dimensional model for the pseudorotation between three equivalent C2v equilibrium structures shows evidence for a fluxional behavior of CH4+.
