Efficiency functions for ions from the title complexes were measured using a photoionization mass spectrometer in which a molecular beam of target complexes, formed by a skimmed and recollimated free jet expansion of 1,3-butadiene + SO{sub 2}, was made to intersect a tunable VUV beam from Brookhaven's 750-MeV electron storage ring. The dissociation energies at 0 K of 1,3-C{sub 4}H{sub 6}{center dot}SO{sub 2} and (1,3-C{sub 4}H{sub 6}{center dot}SO{sub 2}){sup +} were measured to be 3.24 {plus minus} 0.48 and 3.00 {plus minus} 0.68 kcal mol{sup {minus}1}, respectively. For 3-sulfolene, the condensation product, the ionization potential was measured to be 10.073 {plus minus} 0.006 eV, while the appearance potential of its fragment C{sub 4}H{sub 6}{sup +} is 10.076 {plus minus} 0.029 eV, the same within the experimental uncertainty. However, the sulfolene parent ion is unstable with respect to disintegration into butadiene ion and sulfur dioxide by 0.38 {plus minus} 0.03 eV.
