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 O2 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 O3 has no absorption in the UV. The reaction of O3 with H2O2 was shown to proceed via dissociation of O3 into O, and the product of the reaction was identified as O2. No ozone is found in the decay of O3.
