Kinetics Studies of the HO<FONT SIZE=2>(sub 2)</font> CIO Reaction

摘要

The HO<FONT SIZE=2>(sub 2)</font> CIO reaction is the key rate-limiting step in the chlorine-catalyzed destruction of ozone in the lower and middle stratosphere. Product channels leading to HOC1 and HC1 are both exothermic and a small HC1 channel will significantly alter the partitioning of inorganic chlorine in the lower stratosphere.
