Abstract
The reaction between mercury (3P1) atoms and dimethylsulfide at 55 °C has been shown to be exclusively Two primary modes of dissociation have been established for the corresponding reaction with dimethyldisulfide. The former reaction accounts for ~20% of the primary decomposition at 55 °C. No reaction leading to H-atom removal was found for either compound.The subsequent reactions of CH3S and CH3SS radicals, chiefly combination and disproportionation, have been investigated briefly.Keywords
