Summary

Motivation

One of the most important reaction pathways of Volatile Organic Carbons (VOCs) in the atmosphere is oxidation.

One of the main oxidation reactions of unsaturated VOCs is ozonolysis.

Carbonyl oxides, also know as Criegee Intermediates (CIs), are produced by ozonolysis through the breaking of a primary ozonide (POZ).

The ozonolysis reaction is highly exothermic. The primary ozonide is formed with high internal energy.

Olzmann, M., Kraka, E., Cremer, D., Gutbrod, R. & Andersson, S. The Journal of Physical Chemistry A 101, 9421–9429 (1997).

CIs are formed with a broad energy distribution.

SummaryDirect measurement of vinoxy radicals were possible from ozonolysis of cis- and trans-2-butene using multi- and single-inlet flow reactors.

Vinoxy radical reaction with oxygen the main channel for glyoxal and formaldehyde formation for 2-butene ozonolysis.

Decrease in OH radical and HCHO yields for cis-2-butene ozonolysis most likely caused by the decreased vinoxy radical yield.

Segmented addition of reactants along the multi-inlet flow cell allows
