Abstract
In-plane or out-of-plane: Two low-energy states of the phenylthiyl radical were observed in the photodissociation of [D1]thiophenol. The relative orientation of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) distinguishes the two species, namely X̃(B1) and Ã(B2). This orbital is largely localized on the sulfur atom and exhibits atomic-orbital-like alignment with respect to the molecular plane (see picture).
