The rate constants for the reactions of NO{sub 2} with CH{sub 3}S (1), CH{sub 3}SO (2), CH{sub 3}SS (3), and CH{sub 3}SSO (4) have been measured at 297 K and 1 Torr in a discharge flow tube with photoionization mass spectrometric detection. The detection limits of the sulfur radicals studied were in the 10{sup 6} molecules cm{sup {minus}3} range. The rate constant values obtained are (in cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}) k{sub 1} = (5.1 {plus minus} 0.9) {times} 10{sup {minus}11}, k{sub 2} = (1.2 {plus minus} 0.25) {times} 10{sup {minus}11}, k{sub 3} = (1.8 {plus minus} 0.3) {times} 10{sup {minus}11}, and k{sub 4} = (4.5 {plus minus} 1.2) {times} 10{sup {minus}12}. The yield of CH{sub 3}SO in reaction 1 has been found to be unity. Curvature observed on some of the decay plots was attributed to the fragmentation of ions in the ionization chamber.
