Popis: The electronic structures of triplet S2 ground and excited states are studied by ab initio molecular orbital and configuration interaction calculation. Potential energy curves correlated with S ( 3 P ) + S ( 3 P ) and S ( 3 P ) + S ( 1 D ) at the dissociation limit are evaluated, and electronic terms for a total of 11 states are assigned. Transition dipole moments, as a function of internuclear distance, are determined for two allowed transitions to B ″ 3 Π u and B 3 Σ u - excited states. The total absorption cross-sections are computed to estimate isotope-fractionation constants, e , for four most common isotopologues: 32 S 32 S , 32 S 33 S , 32 S 34 S , and 32 S 36 S by quantum close-coupling (R-matrix) expansion approach and they are found to lie in a mostly opaque to competing absorbers spectral window. We suggest that the photochemistry and isotopic effects of S2 are of significant importance and provide data showing high sensitivity of mass-independent fractionation to excitation wavelength. Zero-point energy based constants e ZPE are estimated as well to compare with the obtained isotope effects and two modes for MIF are present in three-isotope plots; large isotopic effects were observed for both 36 S and 33 S with an excitation wavelength-dependent fluctuation.
