Radiative lifetimes of the υ′3=0, 1, and 2 levels of CH3S(Ã 2A1)

Abstract
Radiative lifetimes for CH3S(Ã 2A1) in the υ3 =0, 1, and 2 levels are 760±60, 810±60, and 197±15 ns, respectively. These results are in disagreement with previous work on the υ′3 =0 and 1 levels although in agreement for the υ3 =2 level. Since the previous work was in a beam, it is possible that loss from the viewing region contributed to the shorter lifetimes reported previously for the lower levels. Quenching by (CH3S)2 is fast for all three levels.
