Extremely reactive vibrationally excited ozone O3(υ) molecule is formed in excess of O2 in particular in air-fuel mixture, however there is a lack of kinetic data on O3(υ) reactions with combustion products. The time-resolved absorption spectroscopy method was applied for measurements of the O3 recovery rates after 266 nm photolysis in the presence of O, CO and nitrous oxides. It was revealed that reaction O3(υ) + O results in an incomplete ozone recovery. In the reaction O3(υ) + O stabilization channel dominates the reactionary one. In the presence of N2O, ozone does not restore to its initial level.
