The UV–Vis spectrum of the ClCO radical in the catalytic cycle of Cl-initiated CO oxidation

Abstract In Venus’s mesosphere, the observation/model discrepancy of molecular oxygen, O2, abundance has been a long-standing puzzle. Chlorine atoms have been proposed as a catalyst to oxidize carbon monoxide through the formation of chloroformyl radicals (ClCO), removing O2 and ultimately generatin...
