Abstract
The reaction between Hg(3P1) atoms and methyl mercaptan at 55° is mainly H-atom removal from sulfur with a minor participation (~10%) of C—S bond rupture Ethyl mercaptan dissociates by two main processes Some evidence was found for a small amount of dissociation by C—C bond rupture. No C—H bond rupture in either compound could be detected.Keywords
