We report infrared absorption spectrum of the methylthio (or thiomethoxy) radical, CH3S, isolated in solid {p}-H2. CH3S was produced by in situ UV photodissociation of three precursors: CH3SH, CH3SH3, and CH3SSCH3 isolated in solid {p}-H2. New absorption features commonly observed with similar intensity ratios in experiments using these precursors are assigned as absorption of CH3S. In Addition to the previously assigned transitions of ν 3 (a1) at 727.1 cm-1, fundamental transitions ν 6 (a1) at 771.1, ν 6 (e) at 1056.6, ν 5 (a1) at 1400.0, and &nu 4 (a1) at 2898.0 cm-1 were observed. The wavenumbers of these features agree satisfactorily with those predicted with a spin-vibronic Hamiltonian accounting for the anharmonic effects and the Jahn-Teller effects to the qu rtic term; the corresponding wavenumbers predicted from theory are ν 6 (a1) at 793, ν 6 (e) at 1105, ν 5 (a1) at 1436, and ν 4 (a1) at 2938 cm-1, with deviations of 14-4.6 % from experiments. Previous attempts of UV photolysis of CH3SCH3 and CH3SSCH3 isolated in an Ar matrix failed to produce CH3S. These results serve as an excellent example that the diminished cae effect of solid {p}-H2 makes production of free radicals via photolysis in situ feasible. If time permits, other examples will be discussed.
