Abstract: S ('D) atoms react with CH3SCH3 to generate elemental sulfur and CH3SSCH3 as major primary products along with small amounts of C2H6, and with CH2 (CH2) 2S to give CH2 (CH2) 2SS and C2H4 in comparable yields. The reactions of ground-state S (3P) atoms with these substrates afford the same products, but the overall product recoveries are smaller, and in the case of CH2 (CH2), S, the C2H4/CH2 (CH2) 2SS ratio is decreased.
