These products\u2019 properties combined with their formation mechanisms are needed to assess their potential environmental and human impacts. In this study, the gas-phase reaction of hydrazine (N2H4), monomethyldrazine (MMH) and unsymmetrical dimethyhydrazine (UDMH) with O3 have been studied at varying reactant ratios, both in the presence and absence of a radical trap. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) has been implied to follow reactant consumption and product formation. Apart from the reported products detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the newly found compounds (hydrazones, formamides, dimethylamine, 1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,2-tetrazene,dimethylamino-acetonitrile, N2, H2O, et al.) are identified by GC-MS. The relative yields of the organic products vary considerably at different O3\/MMH or UDMH ratios. UDMH and MMH are confirmed as high potential precursors of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The presence of hydroxyl radicals (HO\u00b7) hinders NDMA formation in MMH-O3 system. Meanwhile, it increases NDMA formation in UDMH-O3 system. The suggested reaction mechanisms which account for the observed products are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym10090394","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,11]],"date-time":"2018-09-11T11:40:02Z","timestamp":1536666002000},"page":"394","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Products and Mechanistic Investigations on the Reactions of Hydrazines with Ozone in Gas-Phase"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Dan","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Xi\u2019an, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangxuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Xi\u2019an, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4684-2951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zheng","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Xi\u2019an, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}]},{"given":"Xuanjun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Xi\u2019an, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Beijing, Beijing 10085, China"}]},{"given":"Yuxue","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High-Tech Institute of Xi\u2019an, Xi\u2019an 710025, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.2514\/1.9234","article-title":"Journal of Propulsion and Power-20(1):87-PDF (AIAA)","volume":"20","author":"Catoire","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
