Abstract:The room-temperature rate constants and product branching
fractions
of CaO
n
+ (n = 0–3) + O3 are measured using a selected ion
flow tube apparatus. Ca+ + O3 produces CaO+ + O2 with k = 9 ± 4 ×
10–10 cm3 s–1, within
uncertainty equal to the Langevin capture rate constant. This value
is significantly larger than several literature values. Most likely,
those values were underestimated due to the reformation of Ca+ from the sequential chemistry of higher calcium oxide cations
with O3, as explored here. A rate co… Show more
