Open questions on the reactivity of Criegee intermediates
Rebecca L. Caravan, Michael F. Vansco, Marsha I. Lester
Abstract
Criegee intermediates are reactive intermediates formed in Earth’s atmosphere through ozonolysis of alkenes. Here the authors outline the fundamental chemistry that influences their highly conformer- and substituent-dependent unimolecular and bimolecular reactivity, and discuss open questions of fundamental and atmospheric interest.
