  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012946",
  "term": "Carbonyl oxides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of 1,3-dipolar reactive intermediates having the general formula R₂C=O⁺-O⁻, where the central carbon atom is bonded to an oxygen atom with a formal positive charge and a terminal oxygen atom with a formal negative charge. These species are formed in the ozonolysis of alkenes. Also known as Criegee intermediates, they react with aldehydes, ketones, and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere.",
