The intermediates ISO3
- (m/z = 207) and IS2O3
- (m/z = 239) generated in aqueous (NaI/Na2S2O3)
microdroplets traversing dilute O3 gas plumes are detected via online electrospray mass spectrometry within
∼1 ms, and their stabilities gauged by collisionally induced dissociation. The simultaneous detection of anionic
reactants and the S2O6
2-, HSO4
-, IO3
-, and I3
- products as a function of experimental conditions provides
evidence of genuinely interfacial reaction kinetics. Although O3(aq) reacts about 3 times faster with I- than
with S2O3
2- in bulk solution, only S2O3
2- is significantly depleted in the interfacial layers of [I-]/[S2O3
2-] =
10 microdroplets below [O3(g)] ∼ 50 ppm.
