The oxidation reaction is consistent across many VOCs, but the specific chemical intermediates formed during a prototypical reaction had not been directly observed before. One such intermediate was thought to be a crucial driver in the reaction’s outcome: the formation of a carbon-centered radical called QOOH. Here, the “Q” indicates any chemical group that has a carbon atom with an highly reactive unpaired electron, and “OOH” indicates a hydroperoxide group.
