Microwave Spectrum, Molecular Structure and Dipole Moment of the Primary
Ozonide (1,2,3-Trioxolane).
The literature shows that ozone attacks double bonds by formation of unstable
ozonides, which lead to the formation of carbonyl groups, preferentially acid groups (33).
Examples include primary and secondary
ozonides, peroxyhemiacetals, [alpha]-hydroxy ketones, [alpha]-hydroxy hydroperoxides, and peroxyacyl nitrates (Atkinson and Arey 2003; Docherty et al.
2] with the unsaturation (C=C) in the rubber to form
ozonides (ref.
Alcohols, carbonyls, and carboxylic acids enhance the formation of secondary
ozonides, as well as alkoxy and acyloxy hydroperoxides, from stabilized Criegee intermediates formed in [O.
without any tension and extension of the vulcanizate, the ozone attacks only the double bonds on the surface of the elastomer where
ozonides are formed, the absorption being restricted to the surface layers.
