Matrix isolation infrared spectroscopic studies of C1NO, 1982

The matrix isolation infrared spectroscopic studies of the gas phase reactions of nitrogen dioxide with chlorine atoms indicate the formation of two isomers. The products of this reaction are CINO2 (1696 cm) and CIONO (1719 cm) and CIOONO (1736, 1719, 1417, 924, 849, 558, 448, and 443 or 414 cm 1) isomers. The relative stability of these two observed isomers as related to the chlorine and nitrogen oxide catalytic cycles in the depletion of stratospheric ozone is discussed
