title: The Methylsulfonyloxyl Radical, CH3SO3.
abstract: The methylsulfonyloxyl radical, CH3SO3, one of the key intermediates in the atmospheric oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), was generated by flash pyrolysis of CH3SO2OOSO2CH3 and subsequently isolated in solid noble-gas matrices. The radical has been characterized by UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy and its tautomerization to CH2SO3H observed upon irradiation with light of λ≥360 nm.
