The size-consistent self-consistent singles and doubles configuration interaction method using both multireference (MR) and complete active space (CAS) as SDCI generator spaces has been used to calculate both vertical excitation energies and vertical ionization potentials for the H2S molecule. A basis set of ANO functions, [4s3p2d1f] for S and [2s1p] for H, has been augmented with an adapted set of 4s4p4d2f Rydberg functions that have been built explicitly for this study. Several open questions concerning the vertical spectrum of the H S are discussed. Rydberg states of f character have been calculated for the First time. Transitions to the outer-valence B-2(1)(2b(1)(-1)), B-2(2)((2)b(2)(-1)), and (2)A(1)(5a(1)(-1)) states and the inner-valence (2)A(1)(4a(1)(-1)) state of the H2S+ cation have also been dealt with, The occurrence of a peak at an energy below the excitation of the (2)A(1)(4a(1)(-1)) state and of various peaks associated to the (4a(1)(-1)) hole state in the photoelectron spectrum are discussed.
