A transient infrared absorption spectrum of gaseous ClCS was detected with a step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer coupled with a multipass absorption cell. ClCS was produced upon irradiating a flowing mixture of Cl{sub 2}CS and N{sub 2} or CO{sub 2} with a KrF excimer laser at 248 nm. A transient band in the region of 1160-1220 cm{sup -1}, which diminished on prolonged reaction, is assigned to the C-S stretching ({nu}{sub 1}) mode of ClCS. Calculations with density-functional theory (B3P86 and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ) predict the geometry, vibrational wave numbers, and rotational parameters of ClCS. The rotational contour of the spectrum of ClCS simulated based on predicted rotational parameters agrees satisfactorily with experimental observation; from spectral simulation, the band origin is determined to be at 1194.4 cm{sup -1}. Reaction kinetics involving ClCS, CS, and CS{sub 2} are discussed.
