22. + species formed, the low pressures applied in the ion source as well as the favorable Franck-Condon factors for the ionization of neutral TlF into low-lying cation states (see text) discount the need to include this issue in the further discussion.
23. Ion dissociation owing to collisional activation by background gases was found to be negligible.

The MR-AQCC calculations use a reference CASSCF wave function with 13 active orbitals (full valence space covering the Tl 5d/6s/6p and F 2s/2p atomic orbitals).
