Experiment Set Details

Name: Butadiene ozonolysis
Time format and units: Experiment time (minutes, local)
Description:
Investigations into the humidity-dependent ozonolysis of butadiene to form hydroxymethylhydroperoxide (HMHP), formic acid, and other products. This set of experiments was performed to complement the isoprene ozonolysis experiments.
