Abstract
THE isothermal flash photolysis of mixtures of nitrogen trifluoride and carbonyl sulphide, and nitrogen trifluoride and carbon disulphide, has been investigated, as part of a study of the reactions of atomic sulphur with a series of volatile inorganic fluorides. The ground state (3P) sulphur atom, obtained on photolysing carbon disulphide with light of wavelength < 2200 Å, was found to be unreactive towards nitrogen trifluoride, while the excited (1D) atom, obtained on photolysing carbonyl sulphide, was found to react slowly.
