The Ozonolysis of Ethylene: A Theoretical Study of the Gas-Phase Reaction Mechanism

Josep M. Anglada, Ramón Crehuet, Josep María Bofill

Open publisher page 140 citations

Abstract

An important source of atmospheric polution, the gas-phase ozonolysis of ethylene, has been submitted to systematic theoretical investigation. Apart from its concerted cleavage to the Criegee intermediates, the ethylene primary ozonide (POZ) decomposes in a stepwise mechanism by the alternative routes shown here.
