Abstract

Abstract Matrix-isolation experiments have afforded the means of preparing the hitherto unknown sulfur (II) fluoride, methanesulfenyl fluoride, CH 3 SF. Broadband UV-visible irradiation of methyl thiofluoroformate, FC (O) SCH 3, isolated in a solid Ar matrix results, first, in photoisomerization of the syn into the anti form of the molecule, and, subsequently, in the elimination of CO with the concomitant formation of CH 3 SF. Continued irradiation ...
