1. Motivation Diiodomethane is an important source of tropospheric iodine in marine environment CH 2 I 2 is photolysed by sunlight and provides iodine atoms that react with O 3 and HO x species small traces of iodine-containing species can play a very important role in the stratosphere since the potential of iodine species for catalytic ozone depletion is much higher than that of their Cl and Br analogs (because of the much faster kinetics of I chemistry)
