Absorption cross sections, reaction probability, isotopic selectivity, and reaction product distributions have been measured for disulfur decafluoride (S/sub 2/F/sub 10/) irradiated with CO/sub 2/ laser radiation. The absorption measurements covered a five-decade energy fluence range at ten laser frequencies in the region of the 938 cm/sup -1/ S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ absorption feature. S/sub 2/F/sub 10/ absorbs laser radiation much more easily than SF/sub 6/ at similar infrared band position and energy fluence.
