Threshold photoelectron spectrum of the CH2OO Criegee intermediate†
Abstract
We present the photoelectron spectroscopy of the simplest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, close to the first ionization energy. Comparison with existing theoretical data yields the experimental adiabatic ionization energy and provides a benchmark for theoretical studies on larger Criegee intermediates, which play an important role in the ozonolysis of alkenes.
