The SO2 + H2O reaction is proposed to be the starting process for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfate in liquid water, although the thermal reaction displays a high activation barrier. Recent studies have suggested that the reaction can be promoted by light absorption in the near UV. We report ab initio calculations showing that the SO2 excited triplet state is unstable in water, as it immediately reacts with H2O through a water-assisted proton coupled electron transfer mechanism forming OH and HOSO radicals. The work provides new insights for a general class of excited-state promoted reactions of related YXY compounds with water, where Y is a chalcogen atom and X is either an atom or a functional group, which opens up interesting chemical perspectives in technological applications of photoinduced H-transfer.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
