Chloroformylperoxy radical

The next step, addition (equation 83) of molecular oxygen to C1CO, involves the intermediacy of the unstable chloroformylperoxy radical, which may readily dissociate (equation 84) to chlorine monoxide and carbon dioxide. 

Formation of C02 from C1C(0)02 may also occur by reaction with atomic oxygen (equation 85) or chlorine (equation 86). Furthermore, the chloroformylperoxy radical is reduced by nitric oxide (equation 87), like its fluorine analogue. However, the resulting chloroformyloxy radical C1C(0)0 is very unstable, and the exothermicity of reaction 87 would cause dissociation (equation 88) into C02 and atomic Cl.
