Abstract
Produced by both nature and human activities, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an important species in the earth's atmosphere. SO2 has also been found in the atmospheres of other planets and satellites in the solar system. The photoabsorption cross sections and photodissociation of SO2 have been studied for several decades. In this paper, we reported the experimental results for photodissociation dynamics of SO2 via the G̃1B1 state. By analyzing the images from the time-sliced velocity map ion imaging method, the vibrational state population distributions and anisotropy parameters were obtained for the O(1D2) + SO(X3Σ-, a1Δ, b1Σ+) and O(1S0) + SO(X3Σ-) channels, and the branching ratios for the channels O(1D2) + SO(X3Σ-), O(1D2) + SO(a1Δ), and O(1D2) + SO(b1Σ+) were determined to be ∼0.3, ∼0.6, and ∼0.1, respectively. The SO products were dominant in electronically and rovibrationally excited states, which may have yet unrecognized roles in the upper planetary atmosphere.

Abstract
It is well-documented that photodissociation of SO2 at λ = 193 nm produces O(3Pj) + SO X(3Σ-). We provide experimental evidence of a new product channel from one-photon absorption producing S(3Pj) + O2 X(3Σg-) in 2-4% yield. We probe the reactant and all products with time-resolved photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. High-level ab initio calculations suggest that the new product channel can only occur on the ground-state potential energy surface through internal conversion from the excited state, followed by isomerization to a transient SOO intermediate. Classical trajectories on the ground-state potential energy surface with random initial conditions qualitatively reproduce the experimental yields. This unexpected photodissociation pathway may help reconcile discrepancies in sulfur mass-independent fractionation mechanisms in Earth's geologic history, which shape our understanding of the Archean atmosphere and the Great Oxygenation Event in Earth's evolution.

Abstract
The investigation of macromolecular biomolecules with ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) techniques has provided substantial insights into the field of structural biology over the past two decades. An IM-MS workflow applied to a given target analyte provides mass, charge, and conformation, and all three of these can be used to discern structural information. While mass and charge are determined in mass spectrometry (MS), it is the addition of ion mobility that enables the separation of isomeric and isobaric ions and the direct elucidation of conformation, which has reaped huge benefits for structural biology. In this review, where we focus on the analysis of proteins and their complexes, we outline the typical features of an IM-MS experiment from the preparation of samples, the creation of ions, and their separation in different mobility and mass spectrometers. We describe the interpretation of ion mobility data in terms of protein conformation and how the data can be compared with data from other sources with the use of computational tools. The benefit of coupling mobility analysis to activation via collisions with gas or surfaces or photons photoactivation is detailed with reference to recent examples. And finally, we focus on insights afforded by IM-MS experiments when applied to the study of conformationally dynamic and intrinsically disordered proteins.

Abstract
We present a new photoelectron photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spectrometer that combines high mass resolution of cations with independently adjustable velocity map imaging of both cations and electrons. We photoionize atoms and molecules using fixed-frequency vacuum ultraviolet radiation. Mass-resolved photoelectron spectra associated with each cation's mass-to-charge ratio can be obtained by inversion of the photoelectron image. The mass-resolved photoelectron spectra enable kinetic time-resolved probing of chemical reactions with isomeric resolution using fixed-frequency radiation sources amenable to small laboratory settings. The instrument accommodates a variety of sample delivery sources to explore a broad range of physical chemistry. To demonstrate the time-resolved capabilities of the instrument, we study the 193 nm photodissociation of SO2 via the C̃(1B2) ← X̃(1A1) transition. In addition to the well-documented O(3Pj) + SO(3Σ-) channel, we observe direct evidence for a small yield of S(3Pj) + O2(3Σg-) as a primary photodissociation product channel, which may impact sulfur mass-independent fractionation chemistry.

Abstract
The fragmentation dynamics of predissociative SO2(C̃1B2) is investigated on an accurate adiabatic potential energy surface (PES) determined from high level ab initio data. This singlet PES features non-C2v equilibrium geometries for SO2, which are separated from the SO(X̃3Σ-) + O(3P) dissociation limit by a barrier resulting from a conical intersection with a repulsive singlet state. The ro-vibrational state distribution of the SO fragment is determined quantum mechanically for many predissociative states of several sulfur isotopomers of SO2. Significant rotational and vibrational excitations are found in the SO fragment. It is shown that these fragment internal state distributions are strongly dependent on the predissociative vibronic states, and the excitation typically increases with the photon energy.

Abstract
The low-energy wing of the C∼B21←X∼1A1 absorption spectra for SO2 in the ultraviolet region is computed for the 32S,33S,34S and 36S isotopes, using the recently developed ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the two electronic states and the corresponding transition dipole surface. The state-resolved absorption spectra from various ro-vibrational states of SO2(X∼1A1) are computed. When contributions of these excited ro-vibrational states are included, the thermally averaged spectra are broadened but maintain their key characters. Excellent agreement with experimental absorption spectra is found, validating the accuracy of the PESs. The isotope shifts of the absorption peaks are found to increase linearly with energy, in good agreement with experiment.

Abstract
This second paper in a series of two reports on the performance of a new instrument for studying chemical reaction dynamics and kinetics at low temperatures. Our approach employs chirped-pulse Fourier-transform microwave (CP-FTMW) spectroscopy to probe photolysis and bimolecular reaction products that are thermalized in pulsed uniform flows. Here we detail the development and testing of a new K(a)-band CP-FTMW spectrometer in combination with the pulsed flow system described in Paper I [J. M. Oldham, C. Abeysekera, B. Joalland, L. N. Zack, K. Prozument, I. R. Sims, G. B. Park, R. W. Field, and A. G. Suits, J. Chem. Phys. 141, 154202 (2014)]. This combination delivers broadband spectra with MHz resolution and allows monitoring, on the μs timescale, of the appearance of transient reaction products. Two benchmark reactive systems are used to illustrate and characterize the performance of this new apparatus: the photodissociation of SO2 at 193 nm, for which the vibrational populations of the SO product are monitored, and the reaction between CN and C2H2, for which the HCCCN product is detected in its vibrational ground state. The results show that the combination of these two well-matched techniques, which we refer to as chirped-pulse in uniform flow, also provides insight into the vibrational and rotational relaxation kinetics of the nascent reaction products. Future directions are discussed, with an emphasis on exploring the low temperature chemistry of complex polyatomic systems.

Abstract
By coupling a comprehensive tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser system to a velocity-mapped ion imaging apparatus, we show that high-resolution high-n Rydberg tagging time-of-flight (TOF) measurements of nascent atomic photofragments formed by laser photodissociation can be made using single-photon VUV laser photoexcitation. To illustrate this single-photon Rydberg tagging TOF method, we present here the results of the VUV laser high-n Rydberg tagging TOF measurements of O((3)P(2)) and S((3)P(2)) formed in the photodissociation of SO(2) and CS(2) at 193.3 and 202.3 nm, respectively. These results are compared to those obtained by employing the VUV laser photoionization time-sliced velocity-mapped ion imaging technique. The fact that the kinetic energy resolutions achieved in the VUV laser high-n Rydberg tagging TOF measurements of O and S atoms are found to be higher than those observed in the VUV laser photoionization, time-sliced velocity-mapped ion imaging studies show that the single-photon VUV laser high-n Rydberg tagging TOF method is useful and complementary to state-of-the-art time-sliced velocity-mapped ion imaging measurements of heavier atomic photofragments, such as O and S atoms. Furthermore, the general agreement observed between the VUV laser high-n Rydberg tagging TOF and velocity-mapped ion imaging experiments supports the conclusion that the lifetimes of the tagged Rydberg states of O and S atoms are sufficiently long to allow the reliable determination of state-resolved UV photodissociation cross sections of SO(2) and CS(2) by using the VUV laser high-n Rydberg tagging TOF method.

Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of the photoinitiated and iodide ion-catalyzed aqueous autoxidation of sulfur(IV) has been studied in a diode-array spectrophotometer using the same light beam for excitation and detection. Light absorption of both the iodide ion and sulfur(IV) contribute to the initiation of a highly efficient radical chain reaction, the overall rate of which depends on the reactant and catalyst concentrations, the pH, and the light intensity in a complex manner. To interpret all the experimental findings, an elaborate scheme is proposed, in which the chain carriers are SO3-*, SO4-*, SO5-*, I*, and I2-*. There are three termination steps, each of them is second-order with respect to the chain carriers. Model calculations and nonlinear fitting have been used to show that the proposed scheme gives an excellent quantitative interpretation of the experimental results.

Abstract
The photochemical autoxidation of aqueous, acidic sulfur(IV) solutions was studied in the absence and presence of iron(II) by a newly introduced technique using a diode-array spectrophotometer, in which the same light source is used to drive and detect the reaction. Based on detailed kinetic and stoichiometric data sets, a non-chain mechanism is proposed for the autoxidation of sulfur(IV). In this mechanism, excited hydrated sulfur dioxide, *H2O.SO2, first reacts with O2 to form peroxomonosulfate ion, HSO5-, which rapidly oxidizes another H2O.SO2 to give hydrogensulfate ion as a final product. In the presence of iron(II), the formation of iron(III) was detected, which can be interpreted through the simultaneous contribution of two additional pathways: some of the HSO5- formed oxidizes iron(II) instead of sulfur(iv), and *H2O.SO2 also reacts directly with iron(II) to yield iron(III). This mechanism provides a sufficient quantitative interpretation of all experimental observations.

Abstract
Multiphoton excitation and dissociation of SO(2) have been investigated in the wavelength range from 224 to 232 nm. Strong evidence is found for two-photon excitation to the H Rydberg state, followed by dissociation to SO + O and ionization of the SO product by absorption of a third photon. The two-photon excitation is resonantly enhanced via the C (1)B(2) intermediate state, and the two-photon yield spectrum thus bears a strong resemblance to the spectrum of this intermediate. Imaging of the O((3)P(2)), S((1)D(2)), and SO products suggests that, following dissociation of SO(2) from the H state, SO is produced in the A and B electronic states. S((1)D(2)) is produced both from two-photon dissociation of SO(2) to give S((1)D(2)) + O(2) and by single-photon dissociation of SO(+). In the former process, the O(2) is likely formed in all of its lowest three electronic states.

Abstract
A femtosecond pump-probe technique was employed to study the dissociation dynamics of sulfur dioxide and sulfur dioxide clusters in real time. Dissociation is initiated by a multiphoton scheme that populates the E state. The SO(2) (+) transient is fit to a biexponential decay comprising a fast and a slow component of 230 fs and 8 ps, respectively. The SO(+) transient consists of a growth component of 225 fs as well as a subsequent decay of 373 fs. The pump-probe response obtained from the monomer clearly shows the predissociative cleavage of a S-O bond. Upon cluster formation, a sequential increase in the fast decay component is observed for increasing cluster size, extending to 435 fs for (SO(2))(4) (+). The transient response of cluster dissociation products SO(SO(2))(n) (+), where n=1-3, reflects no growth component indicating that formation proceeds through the ion state. Therefore, cluster formation results in a caging effect, which impedes the dissociation process. Further direct evidence for our proposed mechanism is obtained by a technique that employs a comparison of the amplitude coefficients of each respective component of the fit. This method makes possible the determination of branching ratios of competing relaxation processes and thereby the influence of cluster formation on each can be resolved. The caging effect is attributed to a steric hindrance placed on the SO(2) chromophore, preventing it from attaining a linear geometry necessary for dissociation.
