Photodissociation Dynamics and Stereodynamics of Methyl Mercaptan and Dimethyl Sulfide from the Second Absorption Band at 201 and 210 nm

Abstract: The role of promoting and spectator modes vs. energy randomization in nonadiabatic dynamics is interrogated in the photodissociation of methyl mercaptan, CH 3 SH, and dimethyl sulde, CH 3 SCH 3 or DMS, in the second absorption band. The primary 1 CH 3 (ν) radicals produced in the dissociation of both systems at 210 nm have been resonantly detected in slice-imaging experiments and the corresponding translational energy and angular distributions have been obtained. The stereodynamical information provided by Dix… Show more

“…Our interpretation/assignment of the higher probe intensity spectral feature in DES is also consistent with photofragment REMPI studies conducted on the related dimethylsuflide molecule following excitation at 201 nm. 66 Here a bimodal CH 3 translational energy distribution was observed, with both components exhibiting strong recoil anisotropy (indicating dissociation on a timescale faster than the period of molecular rotation). The higher kinetic energy feature was attributed to S–C bond cleavage within the parent molecule, while the lower kinetic energy feature was thought to be prompt secondary dissociation of the resulting SCH 3 co-fragment.…”
