Paper Abstract
Surface second harmonic generation (SHG) allows detailed molecular measurements on a surface previously difficult to study: the ice/vacuum interface in equilibrium with its vapor. The heterogeneous reaction ClONO2 + H2O yields HOCl + HNO3, a key reaction in ozone-depletion mechanisms in the Antarctic stratosphere, was followed on the basal ice surface maintained under stratospheric conditions (185 K, 10-4 Torr water). SHG signals characteristic of the product HOCl allow us to determine reaction kinetics at various ClONO2 exposures and temperatures and in the presence of co-adsorbates. We find that the reaction is autocatalytic in HOCl.
