A low pressure (1-8 torr of He) discharge flow reactor with (a) LIF detection of SH using a high repetition rate (20 kHz) metal atom laser to circumvent severe predissociation of the A/sup 2/..sigma../sup +/ state and (b) resonance fluorescence detection of OH has been used to examine the kinetics of the title reactions at 298 K: SH + NO/sub 2/ ..-->.. HSO + NO, SH + O/sub 3/ ..-->.. HSO + O/sub 2/; SH + O/sub 2/ ..-->.. SO + OH, SH + H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ ..-->.. H/sub 2/S + HO/sub 2/; SH + H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ ..-->.. HSO + H/sub 2/O. Regeneration of SH in reaction 2 by HSO + O/sub 3/ is observed and is used to infer a rate constant for HSO + O/sub 3/ ..-->.. products. Absence of OH production in that reaction implies that the primary products are SH + 2O/sub 2/. Isotope experiments with H/sub 2/S replaced by D/sub 2/S substantiate that conclusion and yield a reaction rate constant for DSO + O/sub 3/ ..-->.. SD + 2O/sub 2/. Brief discussions of SH reactivity compared with OH and Br are offered, as well as a summary of the atmospheric chemistry of SH. 20 references, 7 figures.
