Luminescence from SO/sub 2/ was studied as the molecule was formed in the steady-state reactions of ozone with methyl mercaptan and with dimethyl disulfide. The bulk of the electronically excited SO/sub 2/ was generated in the elementary reaction SO + O/sub 3/. A chemical timing method was used to analyze the quenching of SO/sub 2/*. Effects of increasing noble gas pressure on the fluorescence and phosphorescence were observed. By use of a presently accepted photophysical model for SO/sub 2/, the quenching of the fluorescence allowed the spectroscopically unresolvable long-lived and short-lived fluorescent singlet states to be distinguished. The /sup 3/B/sub 1/ state that yields the phosphorescence was not observed to be created in the elementary reaction of SO with O/sub 3/. It was also difficult to account for the formation of the /sup 3/B/sub 1/ state by a collisionally induced intersystem crossing from one of the singlet states. Instead, the participation of an unspecified intermediate state producing the /sup 3/B/sub 1/ state on collision is proposed. The photophysical effect and the participation of the unspecified state are suggested to be similar to those discussed by other workers.
