Rate coefficients for the reactions CH{sub 3}S + O{sub 2} {yields} products (1) and CH{sub 3}S + NO{sub 2} {yields} products (2) have been measured at 298 K by laser induced fluorescence detection of CH{sub 3}S which was generated by pulsed 248-nm laser photolysis of CH{sub 3}SSCH{sub 3}, k{sub 1} was found to be less than 2.5 {times} 10{sup {minus}18} cm{sup 3} s{sup {minus}1}. k{sub 2} was measured to be (6.10 {plus minus} 0.90) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} cm{sup 3} s{sup {minus}1}. The mechanism of reactions 1 and 2 was investigated. The major product in reaction 2 is NO, with a yield of 0.80 {plus minus} 0.20. Secondary production of NO was observed, indicating that CH{sub 3}SO formed in reaction 2 also reacts with NO{sub 2}, with a rate coefficient of (8 {plus minus} 5) {times} 10{sup {minus}12} cm{sup 3} s{sup {minus}1}. At long reaction times laser excited fluorescence was detected from a product, possibly CH{sub 3}SO{sub 2}.
