The Q value of the 40Ca(7Li, 8He) 39Sc reaction has been measured, and a value of -37.40(4) MeV was obtained. The corresponding mass excess of 39Sc is -14.14(4) MeV, which makes 39Sc proton unbound by 630(40) keV. Under the assumption of a quadratic form, the b and c coefficients of the isobaric multiplet mass equation for 39 (T=(3/2) were obtained. They agree well with systematics and the predictions of the isospin-nonconserving Hamiltonian model of Ormand and Brown.
