Abstract
The properties of ozonide and hydroperoxy radicals were studied in the flash photolysis of H2O2. Evidence for the reaction (Formula Presented.) was found. The spectrum of O−2 is given with λmax = 240 nm and ϵ340 = 1900 ± 100 M−1 cm−1. No evidence was found for the existence of H2O+2. The recombination kinetics of the hydroperoxy radical are discussed. It was shown that O−3 has no absorption in the UV. The reaction of O−3 with H2O2 was shown to proceed via dissociation of O−3 into O−, and the product of the reaction was identified as O−2. No ozone is found in the decay of O−3.
