Origin of infrared emission from the reactions of atomic oxygen with carbonyl sulphide and carbon disulphide
Abstract
I.r. emission has been observed from the reactions of atomic oxygen with OCS and CS2 in the 2000–6000 cm–1 region. The mechanisms responsible for production of the vibrationally excited species (represented by †) are discussed and in the case of the OCS reaction, evidence is presented for a stabilization process: O + SO + OCS → SO2+ OCS †.
