The chlorine peroxide structure formed by association of two ClO radicals with collisional stabilization. Its low-temperature stability and photodissociation provide a route for catalytic ozone destruction. In a laboratory flow system, changing among three ClO precursors and examining infrared spectra helped distinguish the predominant ClOOCl product from an alternative ClOClO isomer. Product assignment and ultraviolet absorption support the proposed intermediate, but do not alone measure an entire atmospheric cycle's ozone-loss rate.[ref]
