Abstract
The role of promoting and spectator modes vs energy randomization in nonadiabatic dynamics is interrogated in the photodissociation of methyl mercaptan, CH3SH, and dimethyl sulfide, CH3SCH3 or DMS, in the second absorption band. The primary CH3(ν) radicals produced in the dissociation of both systems at 210 nm have been resonantly detected in slice-imaging experiments, and the corresponding translational energy and angular distributions have been obtained. The stereodynamical information provided by Dixon's bipolar moments in conjunction with the energy partitioning among the different degrees of freedom of the primary CH3(ν) products offers a panoramic picture of the photodissociation process of both systems. The remarkable similitude found between the two systems related to both vector correlations and internal energy content of the corresponding counterparts-SH for methyl mercaptan and SCH3 for DMS-indicates that despite the diabaticity of the process, no efficient energy randomization of the available energy takes place. More specifically, only the parent vibrational modes whose participation in the initial absorption step is imposed by the conical intersection-i.e., the promoting modes-are adiabatically preserved during the process, while the rest of the vibrational modes play the spectator role. The results for both molecules at 210 nm are complemented with experiments carried out for DMS at 201 nm to explore the internal mechanism of the conical intersection in different zones of the absorption region.

Abstract
We illustrate a new, collision-free experimental strategy that allows determination of the absolute probabilities of rival bond fission processes in a photoexcited molecule - here t-butylmethylsulfide (BSM). The method combines single photon ('universal') ionization laser probe methods, simultaneous imaging of all probed fragments (multi-mass ion imaging) and the use of an appropriate internal calibrant (here dimethylsulfide). Image analysis allows quantification of the dynamics of the rival B-SM and BS-M bond fission processes following ultraviolet (UV) excitation of BSM and shows the former to be twice as probable, despite the only modest (∼2%) differences in the respective ground state equilibrium C-S bond lengths or bond strengths. Rationalising this finding should provide a stringent test of the two close-lying, coupled excited states of 1A'' symmetry accessed by UV excitation in BSM and related thioethers, of the respective transition dipole moment surfaces, and of the geometry dependent non-adiabatic couplings that enable the rival C-S bond fissions.

Abstract
Conical intersection seam comprised of crossing surfaces of two lowest excited states of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) has been directly accessed by the one-photon excitation from the ground equilibrium state. Since the S-C bond rupture takes place promptly, the molecular structure on the excited state effectively belongs to C(S) symmetry. Namely, excited states of 1(1)B1 and 1(1)A2 in C(2)V become 1(1)A'' and 2(1)A'' states in C(S), respectively, and the optical transition from the ground equilibrium state to the dissociating molecule at the conical intersection seam is symmetry-allowed to facilitate the nonadiabatic transition on the 2(1)A'' state, leading eventually to the CH3S + CH3 products. The dynamic study of DMS, in this sense, gives the great opportunity to unravel the vibronic structure of the conical intersection seam by the conventional one-photon excitation method. In this work, utilizing the photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectroscopic method, the vibronic structures of DMS and its isotope analogs (CD3SCD3, CH3SCD3) at the conical intersection seam have been revealed, providing accurate lifetimes and detailed dynamics associated with individual vibronic transitions. The lifetime of the excited DMS is estimated to be ~100 fs, indicating that the dissociation is complete within one single oscillation in the conical intersection region. It is also found that the symmetric CSC stretching mode is strongly coupled to the reaction coordinate, as manifested by our experimental finding that the fragmentation yield of the S-CD3 bond is enhanced compared to that of the S-CH3 bond in the CH3SCD3 dissociation reaction only when the CSC symmetric stretching vibrational mode is excited at the conical intersection region. This work demonstrates that the better understanding of the excited state could make the bond-selective chemistry into reality.

Abstract
UV-induced degradation of odorous dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was carried out in a static White cell chamber with UV irradiation. The combination of in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), wide-range particle spectrometer (WPS) technique, filter sampling and ion chromatographic (IC) analysis was used to monitor the gaseous and potential particulate products. During 240 min of UV irradiation, the degradation efficiency of DMS attained 20.9%, and partially oxidized sulfur-containing gaseous products, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) were identified by in situ FT-IR and GC-MS analysis, respectively. Accompanying with the oxidation of DMS, suspended particles were directly detected to be formed by WPS techniques. These particles were measured mainly in the size range of accumulation mode, and increased their count median diameter throughout the whole removal process. IC analysis of the filter samples revealed that methanesulfonic acid (MSA), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and other unidentified chemicals accounted for the major non-refractory compositions of these particles. Based on products analysis and possible intermediates formed, the degradation pathways of DMS were proposed as the combination of the O(1D)- and the OH- initiated oxidation mechanisms. A plausible formation mechanism of the suspended particles was also analyzed. It is concluded that UV-induced degradation of odorous DMS is potentially a source of particulate pollutants in the atmosphere.

Abstract
The gas-phase fragmentation reactions of singly protonated aromatic amino acids, their simple peptides as well as simple models for intermolecular disulfide bonds have been examined using a commercially available hybrid linear ion trap-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer. Low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) reactions within the linear ion trap are compared with electron-induced dissociation (EID) reactions within the FT-ICR cell. Dramatic differences are observed between low-energy CID (which occurs via vibrational excitation) and EID. For example, the aromatic amino acids mainly fragment via competitive losses of NH(3) and (H(2)O+CO) under CID conditions, while side-chain benzyl cations are major fragment ions under EID conditions. EID also appears to be superior in cleaving the S-S and S-C bonds of models of peptides containing an intermolecular disulfide bond. Systematic studies involving fragmentation as a function of electron energy reveal that the fragmentation efficiency for EID occurs at high electron energy (more than 10 eV) compared with the low-electron energy (less than 0.2 eV) typically observed for electron capture dissociation fragmentation. Finally, owing to similarities between the types of fragment ions observed under EID conditions and those previously reported in ultraviolet photodissociation experiments and the electron-ionization mass spectra, we propose that EID results in fragmentation via electronic excitation and vibrational excitation. EID may find applications in analyzing singly charged molecular ions formed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization.

Abstract
The hydrogen or deuterium atom abstraction reactions between Cl((2)P(3/2)) and methane, or its deuterated analogues CD(4) and CH(2)D(2), have been studied at mean collision energies around 0.34 eV. The experiments were performed in a coexpansion of molecular chlorine and methane in helium, with the atomic Cl reactants generated by polarized laser photodissociation of Cl(2) at 308 nm. The Cl-atom reactants and the methyl radical products were detected using (2+1) resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization, coupled with velocity-map ion imaging. Analysis of the ion images reveals that in single-beam experiments of this type, careful consideration must be given to the spread of reagent velocities and collision energies. Using the reactions of Cl with CH(4), CD(4), and CH(2)D(2), as examples, it is shown that the data can be fitted well if the reagent motion is correctly described, and the angular scattering distributions can be obtained with confidence. New evidence is also provided that the CD(3) radicals from the Cl+CD(4) reaction possess significant rotational alignment under the conditions of the present study. The results are compared with previous experimental and theoretical works, where these are available.
