Using the Lamb-dip technique, the hyperfine structure in the rotational spectra of H{sub 2}{sup 33}S and {sup 33}SO{sub 2} has been resolved and the corresponding parameters—that is, the sulfur quadrupole-coupling and spin–rotation tensors—were determined. The experimental parameters are in good agreement with results from high-level coupled-cluster calculations, provided that up to quadruple excitations are considered in the cluster operator, sufficiently large basis sets are used, and vibrational corrections are accounted for. The {sup 33}S spin-rotation tensor for H{sub 2}S has been used to establish a new sulfur nuclear magnetic shielding scale, combining the paramagnetic part of the shielding as obtained from the spin–rotation tensor with a calculated value for the diamagnetic part as well as computed vibrational and temperature corrections. The value of 716(5) ppm obtained in this way for the sulfur shielding of H{sub 2}S is in good agreement with results from high-accuracy quantum-chemical calculations but leads to a shielding scale that is about 28 ppm lower than the one suggested previously in the literature, based on the {sup 33}S spin-rotation constant of OCS.
