Abstract
Starting in the 1960s, flow tube apparatuses have played a central role in the study of ion-molecule kinetics, allowing for immense chemical diversity of cationic, anionic, and neutral reactants. Here, we review studies of oxygen allotropes, excluding ground state O2 ( ), and focusing instead on reactions of cations, anions, and metal chemi-ionization reactions with ground state atomic oxygen (O 3 P), vibrationally excited molecular oxygen (O2 (v)), electronically excited molecular oxygen (O2 ( )), and ozone (O3 ). Historical outlines of work over several decades are given along with a focus on more recent work by our group at the Air Force Research Laboratory.
