Abstract

Photoionization-efficiency (PIE) spectra in the wavelength range 110-140 nm were measured for products of the reaction system Cl/Cl₂/H₂S in a discharge-flow reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer employing a synchrotron as source of radiation. According to PIE spectra of HSCl, HSSSH, SSCl, and HSSCl, obtained for the first time, the ionization energies (IE) derived are (9.887±0.016), ≤9.09, (9.04±0.03), and (9.266±0.014) eV, respectively. Ab initio calculations of these IE with the GAUSSIAN-2 method agree well with experimental results. Other products observed in the system include S₂, HSSH, S₃, and SCl₂. Their PIE spectra and IE were also measured; in some cases discrepancies with previous reports are found. The formation mechanism of the observed products is discussed.
