Abstract
Detailed theoretical (Part I, this article) and experimental (Part II) investigations are presented for the mechanism of the atmospheric photooxidation of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3) and dimethyl disulfide (CH3SSCH3). In this paper, comprehensive mechanisms for the atmospheric chemistry of CH3SCH3 and CH3SSCH3 are developed based on fundamental considerations of all available kinetic and mechanistic information.
