Scientific paper

The self-reaction of ClO is investigated by a molecular modulation technique as a function of temperature from 268-338 K using pressures from 2-700 Torr. The reaction is found to have a strong pressure dependence and to be second order, and the data are interpreted in terms of three pressure-independent channels and a fourth pressure-dependent channel in which the ClO dimer is formed. A termolecular rate constant for the formation of this dimer is given, and a catalytic cycle involving the dimer is suggested which may account for the large ozone depletion seen in the Antarctic spring.
