This paper presents calculations (CRYSTAL program) on the interaction
of H2S and MeSH with a model of the rutile TiO2 structure, Compared wi
th H2O or NH3, sulfur compounds strongly dissociate on the surface. Th
e methanethiol gives two favorable cleavages. By comparison with the m
ethanol, the acidic dissociation is slightly favored over the basic on
e.
