Abstract
Two new sulfinyl radicals, CHF2SO˙ and CH2FSO˙, have been generated in the gas phase through homolytic cleavage of the weak S-S bonds in disulfane oxides CHF2S(O)SCF3 and CH2FS(O)SCF3 by high-vacuum flash pyrolysis (HVFP) at ca. 500 °C. The IR spectroscopy characterization of the two fluoromethylsulfinyl radicals in solid N2 (10 K), Ar (10 K), and Ne (3 K) matrices reveals the presence of two conformers for CHF2SO˙ (gauche and cis) and one conformer for CH2FSO˙ (gauche). Upon 266 nm laser irradiation, these radicals undergo both isomerization and decomposition in the matrices. In addition to the dominant formation of the elusive oxathiyl radicals CHF2OS˙ (gauche and cis) and CH2FOS˙ (gauche) via 1,2-alkyl migration, two higher-energy carbon-centered radicals ˙CF2SOH and ˙CHFSOH bearing similar molecular structures to hydroperoxyalkyl radicals (˙QOOH) form via intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen shift in the two sulfinyl radicals. Additionally, the involvement of 1,3-hydrogen shift in CHF2OS˙ and CH2FOS˙ is also indicated by the observation of the fragmentation species. The identification of these radicals by matrix-isolation IR and UV-vis spectroscopy is aided by the quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level of theory. The stability of the isomers of the two sulfinyl radicals CHF2SO˙ and CH2FSO˙ has been discussed according to the experimental observations and also based on the CCSD(T)-F12a/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) calculated energy profiles.

Abstract
Phosphorus monoxide (. PO) is a key intermediate in phosphorus chemistry, and its association with the hydroxyl radical (. OH) to yield metaphosphorous acid (cis-HOPO) contributes to the chemiluminescence in the combustion of phosphines. When photolyzing cis-HOPO in an Ar-matrix at 2.8 K, the simplest dioxophosphorane HPO2 and an elusive hydroxyl radical complex (HRC) of . PO form. This prototypical radical-radical complex reforms into cis-HOPO at above 12.0 K by overcoming a barrier of 0.28±0.02 kcal mol-1 . The vibrational spectra of this HRC and its D- and 18 O-isotopologues suggest a structure of . OH⋅⋅⋅OP. , for which a triplet spin multiplicity with a binding energy of -3.20 kcal mol-1 has been computed at the UCCSD(T)-F12a/aug-cc-pVTZ level.
