C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} radicals were produced upon irradiation of three flowing mixtures: C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}Cl in N{sub 2}, C{sub 6}H{sub 5}Cl and SO{sub 2} in CO{sub 2}, and C{sub 6}H{sub 5}Br and SO{sub 2} in CO{sub 2}, with a KrF excimer laser at 248 nm. A step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer coupled with a multipass absorption cell was employed to record the time-resolved infrared (IR) absorption spectra of reaction intermediates. Two transient bands with origins at 1087.7 and 1278.2 cm{sup -1} are assigned to the SO{sub 2}-symmetric and SO{sub 2}-antisymmetric stretching modes, respectively, of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}. Calculations with density-functional theory (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ and B3P86/aug-cc-pVTZ) predict the geometry and vibrational wave numbers of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} and C{sub 6}H{sub 5}OSO. The vibrational wave numbers and IR intensities of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} agree satisfactorily with the observed new features. Rotational contours of IR spectra of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} simulated based on predicted molecular parameters agree satisfactorily with experimental results for both bands. The SO{sub 2}-symmetric stretching band is dominated by a- and c-type rotational structures and the SO{sub 2}-antisymmetric stretching band is dominated by a b-type rotational structure. When C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}Cl was used as a precursor of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}, C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}Cl was slowly reproduced at the expense of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}, indicating that the reaction Cl+C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} takes place. When C{sub 6}H{sub 5}Br/SO{sub 2}/CO{sub 2} was used as a precursor of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}, features at 1186 and 1396 cm{sup -1} ascribable to C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2}Br were observed at a later period due to secondary reaction of C{sub 6}H{sub 5}SO{sub 2} with Br. Corresponding kinetics based on temporal profiles of observed IR absorption are discussed.
