The flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique has been employed to study the kinetics of hydroxyl radical reactions with H/sub 2/S (k/sub 1/), CH/sub 3/SH (k/sub 2/), CH/sub 3/SCH/sub 3/ (k/sub 3/), and CH/sub 3/SSCH/sub 3/ (k/sub 4/) over the temperature range 244 to 367/sup 0/K. The following Arrhenius expressions adequately describe the measured rate constants as a function of temperature (units are cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/ s/sup -1/): k/sub 1/ = (6.4 +- 1.3) x 10/sup -12/ exp((55 +- 58)/T); k/sub 2/ = (1.15 +- 0.39) x 10/sup -11/ exp((+338 +- 100)/T); k/sub 3/ = (6.8 +- 1.1) x 10/sup -12/ exp((-138 +- 46)/T); k/sub 4/ = (5.9 +- 3.3) x 10/sup -11/ exp((+380 +- 160)/T). The results are compared with previous investigations, and their implications regarding reaction mechanisms and atmospheric sulfur chemistry are discussed.
