Abstract

The observed products of the NO₂ + O₃ reaction are N₂O₃ and N₂O₄. The presence of N₂O₃ as a product indicates that NO is formed in secondary reactions and subsequently reacts with NO₂ to produce N₂O₃. In the experiments where ozone was allowed to deposit at a rapid rate (0.27 mmol/h), infrared absorptions attributable to N₂O₅ and NO were observed. We attribute the production of N₂O₅ to the formation of the symmetrical NO₃ radical. Our data indicate that both the symmetrical and asymmetrical NO₃ radicals are intermediates in the reaction of NO₂ + O₃. An explanation for the presence of NO in nighttime chemistry is given. Attempts to isolate symmetrical NO₃ were unsuccessful.
