The electronic spectrum and the photochemistry of the sulfite-bisulfite-pyrosulfite systems in solution were investigated. The effects of pH, concentration, and environment upon the electronic spectrum were studied, and information was derived on some thermodynamic properties of the system and on the nature of the electronic transitions involved. Above 190 nm only HS03~ displays a charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) band, but there is efficient ionization of the S031 2-34ion on excitation within its intramolecular transition. The chain oxidation of sulfite ions in solution can lead to fast removal of oxygen from the system thus permitting the observation of the strong transient absorption of eaq-in such “air-containing” solutions. A mechanism for the autoxidation is pro-posed: S032-+ hv-+ SOr+ eaq-(+ 02-* 02~); S03~+ 02-* S05-; S05-+ S032-->-S04-+ S042-; SOr+ S032--* S042-+ SOr, and termination reactions of the radicals. Some of the species may be present in their acidic forms. This mechanism is based on results concerning the radicals S03~, SOr, and SOr. Information on these radicals was obtained from the flash photolysis of S032-and S20 62-, and from the pulse radiolysis of S032-, S2Os2-, and HSOr. No direct evidence is presented for the role of SOr radicals in the chain reaction, but it is inferred from the nature of the inhibition induced by alcohols (SOr and S06~ are relatively inert to alcohols) and from the production of Or in alkaline solutions. The photolysis of S2062-leads to the formation of SOr radicals. The flash photolysis of S2Os2-has provided new information on this radical. A survey is presented onsome of the properties of the oxyanions and oxyradicals of sulfur. The absorption maxima, extinction coefficients, decay kinetics, and reactivity of the radicals SOr, SOr, S04-, and SOf are included.
