A non-mass-dependent oxygen isotope effect in the production of ozone from molecular oxygen: The role of molecular symmetry in isotope chemistry

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.450373

It was previously reported that the reaction products from the synthesis of ozone in an electric discharge through molecular oxygen display a non-mass-dependent (NoMaDic) oxygen isotope effect.In this paper, we report a detailed characterization of the isotope effect, including the effect of molecular oxygen pressure, and the presence of a chemically inert third body (helium).The NoMaDic effect is due to an isotopically selective stabilization of the O3 formation reaction intermediate, possibly resulting from the ability of the different isotopomers to exhibit different molecular symmetries.
