Speciation and Thermodynamics of Sulfur Vapor 131 Table 9 Harmonic fundamental modes of the three most stable isomers of S4 with infrared and Raman intensities calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(2df) level of theory (this work). Sym- metrical modes (A symmetry) are shown in italics. For connectivities of the S4 isomers, see Scheme 1 above. Experimental wavenumbers are given for comparison.

Although there are a few Raman lines that may fit well to the calculated wavenumbers of S3=S, we found no evidence for its presence based on the calculated electronic spectrum. Interestingly, we note that Andrews et al. [43] reported a new IR absorption at 635 cm1 on anneal- ing the argon matrix containing S4. This may, perhaps, be assigned to S3=S (calc. 665 cm1) or even more likely to the cluster-like isomer of S8 shown in Scheme 2 (calc. 662 cm1) which may arise from the dimerization of S4. We conclude that the cis-planar isomer is the dominating S4 species in equilibrium sulfur vapor and the trans-planar isomer is generated by photo- thermal effects during laser irradiation [23] or by the microwave discharge applied to the sulfur vapor before matrix isolation [43]. For S3 the vibrational wavenumbers are well established. The experimen- tal values are: nas=674 cm1 (IR, Ar matrix [77]), ns=581 cm1 and d=281 cm1 (both Raman vapor [78]). Our calculated wavenumbers are: 686 (vs/24), 594 (vw/100) and 261 cm1 (vw/31) which agree within 20 cm1 with the observed data (relative IR and Raman intensities in parentheses).PDF Image | Topics in Current Chemistry
