We report on the first observation of the photofragmentation dynamics of SF2+. With the aid of state-of-the-art ab initio calculations on the low-lying excited cationic states of SF2+ performed by Lee et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 104304 (2006)], a predissociation channel of SF2+ is evidenced by means of resonance-enhanced multilphoton ionization spectroscopy. This work represents a second experimental investigation on the low-lying excited cationic states of SF2+. [The first one is the He I photoelectron spectrum of SF2+ reported by de Leeuw et al. three decades ago, see Chem. Phys. 34, 287 (1978).]
