Ozonolysis of methyl oleate monolayers at the air-water interface: oxidation kinetics, reaction products and atmospheric implicationsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Detailed information about the neutron data analysis can be found in part A of the ESI; the kinetic analysis of all the oxidative decays recorded is presented in part B; part C presents a comparison of the behaviour of oleic acid and its methyl ester at the air-water interface and part D discusses linear vs. exp

Ozonolysis of methyl oleate monolayers at the air-water interface results in surprisingly rapid loss of material through cleavage of the C&z.dbd;C bond and evaporation/dissolution of reaction products. We determine using neutron reflectometry a rate coefficient of (5.7 ± 0.9) × 10 −10 cm 2 molec...
