Warneck, F.F. Marmo, J.O. Sullivan Title: Ultraviolet Absorption of SO2: Dissociation Energies of SO2 and SO Journal/Source: J. Chem. Phys., 40, 1132-1136, (1964); http://link.aip.org/link/doi/10.1063/1.1725260 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 135 - 315 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The absorption intensities of SO2 were measured in the wavelength region 1849-3150 Å. The pressure dependence of the absorption intensity was investigated at 1849, 2537, and 3131 Å. The existence of an absorption continuum commencing at 2280 Å has been established and attributed to the dissociation of SO2 forming SO and a ground-state oxygen atom.
