Introduction
Ozonolysis plays an important role in removal of unsaturated hydrocarbons in atmosphere. It is believed to produce Criegee intermediates.
Conclusions
The UV spectrum of CH2OO has significant structures.
We determined its absorption cross section at 352 nm to be
1.17 x 10-17 cm2.
We observed the kinetics involving rxn (2) and rxn (3).
