Popis: The gas–surface reaction dynamics of ozone with a model unsaturated organic surface have been explored through a series of molecular beam scattering experiments. Well-characterized organic surfaces were reproducibly created by adsorption of C═C-terminated long-chain alkanethiols onto gold, while the incident molecular beams were created by supersonic expansion of ozone seeded in an inert carrier gas to afford control over collision energy. Time-of-flight distributions for the scattered molecules showed near complete thermal accommodation of ozone for incident energies as high as 70 kJ/mol. Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy, performed in situ with ozone exposure, revealed that oxidation of the double bond depends significantly on the translational energy of O3. For energies near room temperature, 5 kJ/mol, the initial reaction probability (γ0) for the formation of the primary ozonide was determined to be γ0 = 1.1 × 10–5. As translational energy increased to 20 kJ/mol, the reaction probability dec...
