Ab initio calculations at the [QCISD(T)/6-31 +G(Zdf, p)]//MP2/6-31G(d) level have been applied to CH$CH200, a radical which is thought to be important in the atmospheric oxidation of dimethylsulfide. The geometries of CH3SCH200 and the related CI-ISSCH20 radical are similar to other organic radicals

β¦ Synopsis
A kinetic study has been made of the gas phase, I,-catalyzed decomposition of (CH&S at 630-650 K. Some I, is consumed initially, reaching a steady-state concentration. The initial major products are CH4 and CH,S together with small amounts of CH3SCHZI, CHSI, HI, and CS2. The initial reaction corresponds to a pseudo-equilibrium: CH,SCH, + I, & CH,SCH,I + HI accompanied by: CH3SCH21 CHJ + SCH, and CHJ + HI -CH, + I, which brings (I2) into steady state and a final complex reaction: 2 SCH, CS2 + CHI From the initial rate of Iz loss it is possible to obtain Arrhenius parameters for the iodination: I + (CH,),S + HI + CHzSCHB CH,SCH~ + I, I + ICH,SCH,
We measure k , (644 K) = 150 L/mol s and from both the Arrhenius plot and independent estimates A , (644 K) = 10" *'03 L/mol s. Thus, El = 26.7 2 1 kcal/mol. From the steady-state I2 concentration, an assumed mechanism and the known rate parameters for the CH,I/HI system. It is possible to deduce K A (644) = 3.8 x lo-' with an uncertainty of a factor of 2. Using an estimated AS: (644) = 4.2 ? 1.0 e.u. we find AHA ( 6 4 4 ) = 7.0 2 1.1 kcal. With ( A C p A ) 6 4 4 = 1.2 this becomes: A H A , 2 9 R , = 6.6 ? 1.1 kcal/mol. Then (CH,SCH,I) = 6.3 I 1 kcal/mol. Making the assumption that E -] = 1.0 2 0.5 kcal/mol we find AH: (644) = 25.7 2 0.7 kcal/mol and with

The rate of the reaction CH212 + H I 2 CH,I + I , has been followed spectrophotometrically from 201 .O to 31 1 .Z0. The rate constant for the reaction I + CH,I, CH,I + I, fits the equation, log (k,/M-'sec-') = 11.45 f 0.18 -(15.11 f 0.44)/0. This value, combined with the assumption that E2 = 0 & 1 k
