The existence of the reaction of O2(1Deltag) with ground-state SO(3Sigma−) to produce SO(1Delta) and ground-state O2(3Sigmag−) has been confirmed using a fast-flow system and electron paramagnetic resonance detection of all four species. A kinetic study of this reaction has resulted in the determination of the absolute value of the rate constant: (2.12±0.22×108)litermole−1·sec.−1 The reaction is therefore faster, by an order of magnitude, than any quenching process by a neutral species yet reported for O2(1Deltag) in the gas phase, reaction or deactivation. The rapid rate is in rough accord with predictions derived from observations of similar atomic processes by other workers, indicating that the reactive process probably involves simple spin-allowed transfer of electronic energy in which a resonance situation is approximated. The mechanism for the decay of the SO(1Delta) produced in the reaction has also been determined. It is shown that SO(1Delta) is heterogeneously deactivated to SO(3Sigma−) at the reaction vessel walls with an efficiency about four orders of magnitude greater than that observed for deactivation of O2(1Deltag) to O2(3Sigma<sub>g</sub><sup> - </sup>). Such a high wall deactivation efficiency may explain the spectroscopic observations by other workers of SO(3Sigma−) but not the expected SO(1Delta) in the pyrolysis products of ethylene episulfoxide. ©1972 The American Institute of Physics

  24. For the 1Sigma<sub>g</sub><sup>+</sup> state, magnetic dipole transitions to the giound state are also allowed via mixing with 3Sigma3 states.
  25. This calculation is based on the assumption of a 1-D electric dipole and a 1−µB magnetic dipole transition moment and that the transition probability is proportional to the square of the spin-orbit coupling constants of the sulfur and oxygen atoms.

  27. Since NF(1Sigma+) is about 19 000 cm−1 above ground-state NF and SO(1Sigma) is probably only 6350 cm−1 above ground-state SO, the frequency-cubed factor probably more than cancels the heavy-atom effect.

  29. Our detector arrangement was not particularly sophisticated [direct emission from O2(1Deltag) was not detected], and we would predict that the exact determination of the energy of SO(1Delta) by spectroscopic observation of the emission will be possible with more sensitive equipment and smaller surface-to-volume ratio.
