“…Secondary ozonides thermally decompose (see, e.g., Criegee et al, 1953Criegee et al, , 1955Bailey, 1956;Bailey & Mainthia, 1956;Bernatek & Hvatum, 1960;Greiner & Mueller, 1962;Pasero et al, 1963;Briner et al, 1965;Privett & Nickell, 1966;Razumovskii & Yur'ev, 1967;Story et al, 1968aStory et al, , 1968bEllam & Padbury, 1971;Criegee & Korber, 1972;Hull et al, 1972;Ewing et al, 1989aEwing et al, , 1989bAnachkov et al, 1994). Free radicals are generated in the decomposition of simple ozonides such as allylbenzene ozonide, as indicated by the values of the Arrhenius parameters for their thermal decomposition, by the nature of the products in various solvents, and by the use of spin traps (Ewing et al, 1989b).…”
