Abstract

This paper presents the ultraviolet (UV) absorptionspectrum of FC (O) O2 and the temperature dependent rate constants for its formation via the addition of O2 to FCO, its self?? reaction to form FC (O) O, and for the subsequent dimerization of FC (O) O. The UVspectrum of FC (O) O2 shows two absorption bands in the 190–300 nm range. The lower energy band has a peak cross section of (3.0±0.3)× 10− 18 cm2 at 232 nm. A higher energy band ...
