Abstract
The kinetics and mechanisms of the unimolecular decompositions of phenyl methyl sulfide (PhSCH_3) and benzyl methyl sulfide (PhCH_2SCH_3) have been studied at very low pressures (VLPP). Both reactions essentially proceed by simple carbon-sulfur bond fission into the stabilized phenylthio (PhS·) and benzyl (PhCH_2·) radicals, respectively. The bond dissociation energies BDE(PhS-CH_3) = 67.5 ± 2.0 kcal/mol and BDE(PhCH_2-SCH_3) = 59.4 ± 2 kcal/mol, and the enthalpies of formation of the phenylthio and methylthio radicals ΔH°, _(298K)(PhS·, g) = 56.8 ± 2.0 kcal/mol and ΔH°_f, _(298K)(CH_3S·, g) = 34.2 ± 2.0 kcal/mol have been derived from the kinetic data, and the results are compared with earlier work on the same systems. The present values reveal that the stabilization energy of the phenylthio radical (9.6 kcal/mol) is considerably smaller than that observed for the related benzyl (13.2 kcal/mol) and phenoxy (17.5 kcal/mol) radicals.
