Rate constants for the spinhyphen;forbidden dissociation process SO3+Arrarr;SO2+O+Ar have been measured in shock waves between 1700 and 2500 K. The results are compared with data on the low temperature (200ndash;400 K) recombination reaction. The analysis in terms of unimolecular reaction rate theory allows for a determination of the threshold energy of the reaction.
