Eleculc field techmques have been used to mvesugate certam s, p and d Rydberg absorpuon bands for dunethylsulfide (DXIS) and ethylene sulfide (thurnne) wth respect to the polarlzatIon of the translhons, the &pole moment, nod mean polar-
~znbht~ changes that occur upon
cxcnatlon
A techruque using Intense electric Gelds, electnc lmear &chroism (ELD) ha been developed and dcscribed m previous amcles and used to obtain certam ekcned-state propertles [14] These parameters are the change m dipole moment between the ground and evclted states, the corresponding changes m polarizablhcy. and the angle between the electnc dipole transltlon rnornent and the change m &pole moment between the two states (polarlzatlon of the transition). These parameters are used to help charactenze electronic states for certam absorptlons for dunethylsulfide (DMS) and thhrane (ethylene sulfide) The absorptlons Investigated are the 2122 A band of thurane and the 2284 a band of DMS, the 1922a band of thurane and the 19598 band of DMS, and the 1740A band of thurane previously rdentlfied as the 4s -II, 4p +-II, 3d + iz Rydberg cransltlons, respectively [5,6] (table
I)nese two dlvalent sulfur compounds are the slmplest of two classes, the symmetnc straight-cham atkyl sulfides and the cychc sulfides. The basic difference between these two classes of compounds IS the bresence of the ring. Assuming that the geometries reman unchanged upon excltatlon for these compounds, then excited-state properties with respect to the structural restnctlons of the ring can be inferred from the results of the electnc-field data. The vacuum ultravioIet
at dlstmgulslung the Rydberg from the non-Rydberg for senes of sulfur compounds. They noted that the energes of Rydberg absorption bands appeared to “line up” when the ionization potenmls were ahgned. Robln [6] presented extensive arguments based on term values and sunddntles with the oxygen analogs to assign the absorptlons to be discussed. These pre-
rlbsorptlons
vlous assignnlents
were in apparent
contrackclon
to
those of Basco and Morse [7]. The results obtained from the electric-field studies are consistent with the assignments of Clark and Simpson and Robin Vapor-phase spectra for timethylsulfide and thurane were obtamed with apparatus wiuch has been described prevrously [ 1 _I] _Certam modlficatlons have been made to Interface wrth a microprocessor (Apple II+). The ELD signal was obtamed by locking-m on the fundamental of the ac fields. Thus slgnal IS four times as Intense as the overtone used prewously Examples of the ELD and absorption spectra for the s, p and d Rydberg bands for thurane are gven in figs. 1-3. Slmllar spectra for the s and p Rydberg bands for DMS were obtamed but are not shown Analysts of these spectral data IS accomphshed by a least-squares fit to the theoretical expression below [ i,3]. The theoretlcal denvation of tlus equation as well as the manner the data 1s treated to obtam certam excited-state parameters has been described [ 11.

The mngmtude an d s!gn associated with b were used to ciliculare the sign of LI Provided the ground-state propertles are avaIlable, the exIted-state values can be determmed from a andb. 220
The excttcd-state quantltles and the values for a and b are given m table 3 for each of the bands investigated From these absorptton data for DRfS and thglrane, the ewted-state dipole moment was found to be less tflan that of the ground-state The sign of P_ was determmed to be negattve This IS interpreted as electron density being sl-ufted onto ihe carbon end of the molecules m these e\cned-states In awilly symmetric moiecules of CT+ point group .md higher, the polartzatlon of the transtt$on must be either parallef or perpendicular wth respect to the mdJor aus of symmetry The mtenslties of the signals (-Z,/Io) for the poiartzed and unpolartzed spectra are known to be dtfferent dceordrng to the polarization of the transition, therefore, the polarlzatlons can be determined quahtatlvely even though the agnals are too weak to permit quaintltarive fitting of the data to the throrettcal espresston This IS accornphshed by comparmg the mtenstttes of the slgnal mamma between the two types of spectra.

Several posslbdlttes elclst for the 4p - 12 (19598 in DMS and the 1922 a m thurane) and the 3d +H (1740.4 rn thmane) Rydberg transxtxons. The p and d Rydbergs could be either a transrtron to a B, or A, state. The poiartzntton an&e for these absorprlons supported the A1 + At asstgnment for the p and the Bt * A1 asstgnment for the d Rydbergs The parameters, the change m the dipole moment and the change m the mean poIarlzabtl~t~es, can be used to characterrze the absorptrons The values of the e\crted-state properties determmed Imply characterlstlc differences among the translt~ons with respect to the magnrtudes for the parameters These parameters suggest factors that are ~portant in considenng the bonding dtfferences m the molecules The change m the dipole moment assocrated wtth these compounds ~3s found to be smlilar m magmtude and dtrectton as abserved for the s Rydberg transtttons m the ketone compounds [I ,2] _ The change m dtpoIe moments observed for DMS and for thrrrane IS from 2 6 to 2 9 D for the s and p Rydberg transrttons resultmg m the lie, bemg less than and m the oppostte dtrectron to ti, The drpole moment change for the d Rydberg trnrwtlon m thnrane nas the same sign but IS almost twce as large as the v.tlue for the s and p Rydbergs (5.59 D) This difference IS attnbuted to the penetratlon of the core orbitals by the ewted-state orbital slmllarly to that observed for atomic transrtlons [6]. The s and p Rydberg orbrtaIs have precursors m the core
and are
expected to rn~x stgmficantly
whereas
the d orbttal lacks precursors and IS less penetrating Thus penetration of the Rydberg orbrtals IS evidenced m the change m polarrzabdtty. The change m polartzabrhty for the two compounds IS found to increase from the s to p to d Rydberg transrttons Prevtous results for the cychc ketones e_xhrbrted larger polartzabrhty changes than the alkyl ketones [1,2] _ The results obtained for these sulfide conlpounds are conststent wtth the ketone data but do not show a srmtlar rmg effect. The relative change ur polarrzablltty IS consrstent for these conlpou~ds. For DMS, tms change varies for the s p Rydbergs to be about 1 2.2 while for thnrane, the s p d Rydbergs is found to be about 1.2.7 10.
