Notes:
Ab initio MO calculations at the QCISD(T)/6-311++G(3df,2p) + ZPE level show that the thionitrosyl chloride ion, ClNS+•, is 36 kJ/mol more stable than the thiazyl chloride ion, NSCl+•, whereas neutral NSCl is 77 kJ/mol more stable than ClNS [IEa (ClNS) = 9.2 ± 0.3 eV, IEa (NSCl) = 10.5 ± 0.3 eV]. Mild flash-vacuum pyrolysis of the thiazyl chloride trimer (NSCl)3 followed by electron impact ionization resulted in the formation of [N,S,Cl]+• ions (m/z 81). The fragments observed in the CA spectrum of these ions indicate the formation of both NSCl+• and ClNS+• ions. A very weak recovery signal is observed in a neutralizationreionization experiment. This signal is tentatively assigned to the neutral thionitrosyl chloride.
