The general reactivity of electronically excited molecular oxygen, O2 (a 1Δ) has been a topic of recent study, as the molecule has applications in atmospheric and photo chemistry. This study further elucidates patterns of reactivity with anionic species, in particularly the reactivity of sulfur anions. Reaction rate constants and product ion distributions are measured using the ESI-SIFT at the University of Colorado. Computational methods are employed to further discuss reaction mechanisms, product distributions, and energetics. These studies are compared to studies carried out with oxyanions and carbanions studied previously.
