Perfluoroacetylthiol, CF₃C(O)SH, and perfluoroacetylsulphenyl chloride, CF₃C(O)SCl, were irradiated in an inert gas matrix to produce CF₃SH and CO, and CF₃SCl, CF₃Cl, CO and SCO, respectively. The compounds are identified by evaluating the apparition of new bands in the FTIR spectrum of the matrix-isolated substance. The results are compared with related studies of similar compounds taking into account both the irradiation and the stability of the formed products.
