Abstract

The results of the reaction of an OH radical with a number of functionalized organic sulfides reported here demonstrate that the pH, the nature of the functional group and the chain length affect the nature of the OH radical reaction with sulfides. The transient absorption spectrum (λ max= 295 nm), formed on reaction of H atoms and OH radicals with an aqueous solution of 2-(methylthio) ethanol and 2-(ethylthio) ethanol is assigned to the α-thio radical ...
