Carbonyl oxide is a well-known intermediate formed in gas-phase reactions of ozone with alkenes. Secondary reactions of carbonyl oxide are suggested to lead to the formation of HO, H2O2 and organic peroxides in the atmosphere. We performed a theoretical study of reactions of carbonyl oxide with water and a water dimer. Using CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LY-P/6-311+G(2d,2p) calculations we found that the most energetically favourable channel is the formation of hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HMHP) as the result of reactions of carbonyl oxide with the water dimer. The potential importance of water dimer reactions in the chemistry of the troposphere is discussed herein. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
