Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The lignin models anisole, 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene were reacted with ozone in aqueous solution, and major products were identified and quantified with respect to ozone consumption when reference material was available. Hydroxylation products in yields equivalent to those of singlet oxygen and muconic products (in analogy to the Criegee mechanism) dominate. The formation of quinones points to the release of methanol. Hydroxyl radicals (OH, quantified, main precursor: O), singlet oxygen (quantified), O radicals (quantified), and as counterparts of the OH radicals radical cations of these methoxybenzenes must each play an important role as intermediates. In the case of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, for example, the following products were identified (yields in parentheses when quantified): methyl(2Z,4E)-4-methoxy-6-oxo-hexa-2,4-dienoate 5 (52%), hydroquinone 6 (2%), 1,4-benzoquinone 7 (8%), 2,5-dimethoxyhydroquinone 8, 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone 9, singlet oxygen (6%), hydrogen peroxide (56%), OH (∼17%), O (≤9%). Gibbs energies for the various potential reaction pathways were calculated with the help of the Jaguar 7.5 program.
