We have developed the first gas-grain chemical model for oxygen fractionation (also including sulphur fractionation) in dense molecular clouds, demonstrating that gas-phase chemistry generates variable oxygen fractionation levels, with a particularly strong effect for NO, SO, O<sub>2</sub>, and SO<sub>2</sub>. This large effect is due to the efficiency of the neutral <sup>18</sup>O + NO, <sup>18</sup>O + SO, and <sup>18</sup>O + O<sub>2</sub> exchange reactions. The modeling results were compare ...[more]
