Photolysis of Thiolane Vapor
The photolysis of thiolane vapor [Formula: see text] was studied at room temperature with 2139 Å radiation. The major product was C2H4, whose quantum yield decreased as the pressure was increased. Next in importance were 1-C4H8, C3H6, and C2H6. Also produced were CH4, c-C3H6, 1,3-C4H6, CH2CHSH, [Formula: see text], 1-C4H9SH, H2, C3H8, n-C4H10, c-C4H8, polymer, and an unstable product tentatively identified as 1-butene-1-thiol. All products were initial products of the reaction. Experiments with added C3H6 showed the absence of sulfur atoms. The results are interpreted in terms of two excited states and an intermediate which might be the diradical •CH2CH2CH2CH2S•.
