Collision-energy dependence of partial Penning ionization cross-sections (CEDPICS) of OCS was obtained from collision-energy/electron-energy-resolved two-dimensional spectrum with a highly sensitive electron energy analyzer. The negative CEDPICS for X 2 Π and C 2 Σ + states indicates attractive interaction around S and O atoms with He * (2 3 S), where the corresponding 3π(S 3 p -O 2 p ) and 8σ(σ C O ) orbitals extend, respectively. Utilizing classical trajectory calculations for CEDPICS and optimization of model potential energy surface, a large ring-like attractive well with a depth of ca. 120 meV was found for perpendicular directions around C S axis and smaller interaction was found in the collinear direction of the C O axis with well depth of ca. 70 meV around the oxygen atom in the lone pair region by sp 2 hybridization.
