Chemistry of stabilized Criegee intermediates in the CLOUD chamber

چکیده
In atmospheric conditions the oxidation of sulphur dioxide to sulphuric acid in gas phase has been considered to be determined by the concentration of hydroxyl radical. Recently the significance of stabilized Criegee intermediate as an oxidizer of sulphuric acid has been brought out. In this study we investigated the oxidation of sulphur dioxide in the CLOUD chamber in conditions where the hydroxyl radical was removed. The concentration of formed sulphuric acid was measured with a chemical ionization atmospheric pressure interface time-offlight mass spectrometer and it was compared with the calculated yield of sulphuric acid.

A kinetic study of the CH2OO Criegee intermediate self-reaction, reaction with SO2 and unimolecular reaction using cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
Criegee intermediates are important species formed during the ozonolysis of alkenes. Reaction of stabilized Criegee intermediates with various species like SO2 and NO2 may contribute significantly to tropospheric chemistry. In the laboratory, self-reaction can be an important loss pathway for Criegee intermediates and thus needs to be characterized to obtain accurate bimolecular reaction rate c...
متن کاملBarrierless tautomerization of Criegee intermediates via acid catalysis.
The tautomerization of Criegee intermediates via a 1,4 β-hydrogen atom transfer to yield a vinyl hydroperoxide has been examined in the absence and presence of carboxylic acids. Electronic structure calculations indicate that the organic acids catalyze the tautomerization reaction to such an extent that it becomes a barrierless process. In contrast, water produces only a nominal catalytic effec...
متن کاملMechanisms for the formation of organic acids in the gas-phase ozonolysis of 3-carene.
This paper describes experimental studies aimed at elucidating mechanisms for the formation of low-volatility organic acids in the gas-phase ozonolysis of 3-carene. Experiments were carried out in a static chamber under 'OH-free' conditions. A range of multifunctional acids-which are analogous to those observed from alpha-pinene ozonolysis-were identified in the condensed phase using gas chroma...
متن کاملImpact of the water dimer on the atmospheric reactivity of carbonyl oxides.
The reactions of twelve carbonyl oxides or Criegee intermediates with the water monomer and with the water dimer have been investigated employing high level theoretical methods. The study includes all possible carbonyl oxides arising from the isoprene ozonolysis and the methyl and dimethyl carbonyl oxides that originated from the reaction of ozone with several hydrocarbons. These reactions have...
متن کاملOxidation of SO2 by stabilized Criegee intermediate (sCI) radicals as a crucial source for atmospheric sulfuric acid concentrations
The effect of increased reaction rates of stabilized Criegee intermediates (sCIs) with SO2 to produce sulfuric acid is investigated using data from two different locations, SMEAR II, Hyytiälä, Finland, and Hohenpeissenberg, Germany. Results from MALTE, a zero-dimensional model, show that using previous values for the rate coefficients of sCI+SO2, the model underestimates gas phase H2SO4 by up t...
