The photodissociation processes of CH3SSCH3 at 248 and 193 nm and CH3SCH3 at 193 nm have been studied by translational spectroscopy. When excited at 248 nm, CH3SSCH3 undergoes a simple S-S bond scission to produce two CH3S fragments with an average translational energy of 33 kcal/mol. The angular distribution of the product with respect to the polarized laser is measured and fitted with an anisotropy parameter beta=1.2. It indicates that the dissociation is a fast, direct process. At 193 nm, there is only a simple dissociation channel for CH3SCH3, while CH3SSCH3 undergoes a predominant C-S bond scission with the S-S bond scission as a minor channel. No angular dependence for the primary products from both CH3SCH3 and CH3SSCH3 has been observed. The observation of S-2(+) time-of-flight spectra shows that a major fraction of CH3S2, which is internally excited when produced, undergoes spontaneous dissociation to form slow S-2 and CH3 radicals. Results obtained for the dissociation processes of both molecules at 193 nm are rationalized and comparisons with previous investigations [J. Chem. Phys. 92, 6587 (1990); 95, 5014 (1991)] are also included.
