The e.p.r. spectra from the low temperature matrix photolysis of several mercaptans, disulfides, and cyclic sulfides have been recorded and compared to those obtained in the photolysis of these materials adsorbed on a porous Vycor glass. The spectra of the adsorbed radicals are characterized by an enhanced thermal stability and a shift of the highest sulfur g-value to higher fields. The only free radical product in the photolysis of mercaptans and disulfides is the thiyl radical. The cyclic sulfides [Formula: see text] appear to yield•CH2—(CH2)n—S•type diradicals, while the cyclic disulfide [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] gives the [Formula: see text] diradical.
