Heats of formation of gas phase organosulfur molecules, radicals, and ions measured by PEPICO and applications of /sup 17/O and /sup 33/S NMR spectroscopy to structure determinations of organosulfur compounds, June 1, 1983 to May 31, 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6094044

Organosulfur molecules will be investigated by photoionization techniques in order to accurately determine the heats of formation of organosulfur ions and fragments. The structures will be determined by ab initio molecular-orbital calculations. A considerable effort will be devoted to the study of both cyclic and acyclic disulfides, and the structures of their ions in the gas phase. Oxygen-17 and sulfur-33 NMR Spectroscopy will be used to explore the fundamental aspects of bonding interactions between S-S and S-O bonds. Both /sup 17/O and /sup 33/S NMR will be used for structure determinations with emphasis on (i) the influence of substituent effects on /sup 17/O and /sup 33/S NMR chemical shifts and (ii) development of rapid analytical method for determining the form of oxidized sulfur in organic mixtures. 2 figures, 1 table.
