Abstract

An affirmative observation of concerted braking of two chemical bonds in the photodissociation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is reported. It is concluded that, upon excitation near 200 nm, DMSO decomposes into SO + 2C[H.sub.3] with a quantum yield of approximately 1.5 for the methyl products.
