Methyl iodide ions are prepared in the /sup 2/PI/sub 1/2/ and /sup 2/PI/sub 3/2/ spin states by multiphoton ionization. Resonant enhancement via low-lying Rydberg states is used to produce ions in a controlled, narrow distribution of vibrational levels as shown by the photoelectron spectra obtained at the selected ionization wavelengths. The photodissociation spectra of CH/sub 3/I/sup +/ and CD/sub 3/I/sup +/ are obtained in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and analyzed to obtain the vibrational constants for X and A states and the spin-orbit splitting of the X state. 8 references, 9 figures, 6 tables.
