Here we investigate the ion chemistry of the CH\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    OH\n                    <jats:sup>\u2022+<\/jats:sup>\n                    + SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    system by combining synchrotron experiments with theoretical analysis. The methanol radical cation CH\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    OH\n                    <jats:sup>\u2022+<\/jats:sup>\n                    , generated at different photon energies, reacts efficiently with SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , leading to an abundant distribution of ionic and neutral products. The reaction proceeds through rapid pathways involving the formation of the bound adduct [HOCH\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O(H)SO]\n                    <jats:sup>\u2022+<\/jats:sup>\n                    , which acts as a key intermediate governing the subsequent chemistry. Rearrangement and fragmentation of this ion lead to the formation of several species of chemical relevance. The formation of CH\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O is particularly relevant because of its significant role in atmospheric oxidation processes and its importance as a prebiotic molecule detected in various interstellar environments. In addition, the formation of sulfur\u2010containing molecules such as HOSOH\n                    <jats:sup>\u2022+<\/jats:sup>\n                    , HOSO\n                    <jats:bold>\u2022<\/jats:bold>\n                    , and CH\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    OSO\n                    <jats:sup>\u2022+<\/jats:sup>\n                    is of interest because these species are involved in sulfur oxidation chemistry, aerosol precursor formation, and contribute to the chemistry of sulfur in planetary environments and in the interstellar medium.
