Photochemistry chlorine dioxide

Photochemical Reactions. The photochemistry of chlorine dioxide is complex and has been extensively studied (29—32). In the gas phase, the primary photochemical reaction is the homolytic fission of the chlorine—oxygen bond to form CIO and O. These products then generate secondary products such as chlorine peroxide, ClOO, chlorine, CI2, oxygen, O2, chlorine trioxide [17496-59-2] CI2O2, chlorine hexoxide [12442-63-6] and... 

Dr. Larson has worked principally in the specific research areas of environmental photochemistry (kinetics, mechanisms, and products of light-induced reactions of environmental significance), disinfectant chemistry (ozone, chlorine, and chlorine dioxide and their reactions with organic compounds), and natural product chemistry. He is especially interested in the reactions of polar organic compounds of potential environmental health significance.
