Abstract
The absorption spectrum of SH in the vacuum ultraviolet has been obtained by the flash photolysis of hydrogen sulfide. Transitions from the 2Π ground state to seven excited states have been observed and four of these fit reasonably well into a Rydberg series. From an extrapolation to the convergence limit of this series, a value of 10.40 ± 0.03 eV for the ionization potential of SH has been derived. Values for the rotational constants of these new electronic states have been determined; corresponding data for SD have also been obtained. The (1–0) transition of the system near 1 670 Å (B2Σ–X2Π) was observed, and, with the aid of isotope relations, vibrational constants of the B state have been derived. An estimate of the dissociation energy of SH in this excited state is D0′ = 24 190 ± 1 000 cm−1.Keywords
