The OH and OD product ratios and vibrational distributions following the reactions of O(1D2) with isotopically labeled alcohols and several thiols were characterized using laser induced fluorescence. The primary site of O(1D2) attack upon the alcohols is the Ondash;H bond, attack upon the Cndash;H bond also being observed. Both reactions occur via an insertion/elimination mechanism. Product vibrational distributions for each pathway are similar to those observed following reaction with the corresponding monofunctional substrate.
