The structure of a new compound formed in the reaction of ethoxyquin with alkylperoxy radicals was resolved by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy (including COSY, NOESY, HHC RCT and SSLR INEPT techniques) and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The structure suggest participation of 4-methyl group of ethoxyquin in the deactivation of peroxy radicals. A mechanism of this reaction is proposed.

Atmospheric oxidation of natural and anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leads to secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which constitutes a major and often dominant component of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Recent work demonstrates that rapid autoxidation of organic peroxy radicals (RO2) formed during VOC oxidation results in highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) that efficiently form SOA. As NOxemissions decrease, the chemical regime of the atmosphere changes to one in which RO2autoxidation becomes increasingly important, potentially increasing PM2.5, while oxidant availability driving RO2formation rates simultaneously declines, possibly slowing regional PM2.5formation. Using a suite of in situ aircraft observations and laboratory studies of HOM, together with a detailed molecular mechanism, we show that although autoxidation in an archetypal biogenic VOC system becomes more competitive as NOxdecreases, absolute HOM production rates decrease due to oxidant reductions, leading to an overall positive coupling between anthropogenic NOxand localized biogenic SOA from autoxidation. This effect is observed in the Atlanta, Georgia, urban plume where HOM is enhanced in the presence of elevated NO, and predictions for Guangzhou, China, where increasing HOM-RO2production coincides with increases in NO from 1990 to 2010. These results suggest added benefits to PM2.5abatement strategies come with NOxemission reductions and have implications for aerosol–climate interactions due to changes in global SOA resulting from NOxinteractions since the preindustrial era.

Abstract. A photochemical box model constrained by ancillary observations was used to simulate OH and HO2 concentrations for three days of ambient observations during the HOxComp field campaign held in Jülich, Germany in July 2005. Daytime OH levels observed by four instruments were fairly well reproduced to within 33% by a base model run (Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism with updated isoprene chemistry adapted from Master Chemical Mechanism ver. 3.1) with high R2 values (0.72–0.97) over a range of isoprene (0.3–2 ppb) and NO (0.1–10 ppb) mixing ratios. Daytime HO2(*) levels, reconstructed from the base model results taking into account the sensitivity toward speciated RO2 (organic peroxy) radicals, as recently reported from one of the participating instruments in the HO2 measurement mode, were 93% higher than the observations made by the single instrument. This also indicates an overprediction of the HO2 to OH recycling. Together with the good model-measurement agreement for OH, it implies a missing OH source in the model. Modeled OH and HO2(*) could only be matched to the observations by addition of a strong unknown loss process for HO2(*) that recycles OH at a high yield. Adding to the base model, instead, the recently proposed isomerization mechanism of isoprene peroxy radicals (Peeters and Müller, 2010) increased OH and HO2(*) by 28% and 13% on average. Although these were still only 4% higher than the OH observations made by one of the instruments, larger overestimations (42–70%) occurred with respect to the OH observations made by the other three instruments. The overestimation in OH could be diminished only when reactive alkanes (HC8) were solely introduced to the model to explain the missing fraction of observed OH reactivity. Moreover, the overprediction of HO2(*) became even larger than in the base case. These analyses imply that the rates of the isomerization are not readily supported by the ensemble of radical observations. One of the measurement days was characterized by low isoprene concentrations (∼0.5 ppb) and OH reactivity that was well explained by the observed species, especially before noon. For this selected period, as opposed to the general behavior, the model tended to underestimate HO2(*). We found that this tendency is associated with high NOx concentrations, suggesting that some HO2 production or regeneration processes under high NOx conditions were being overlooked; this might require revision of ozone production regimes.

ABSTRACTElectron spin resonance measurements have been carried out on samples of Suprasil Wl (dry silica) subjected to ultraviolet laser radiation (λ = 248 nm, E = 5 eV/photon). Studies have been made for fixed irradiation temperature (room) variable accumulated ultraviolet dose and fixed accumulated dose (3000 J/cm2) at various irradiation temperatures in the range 110 K to 335 K. Three principal defect centers are observed. Non-bridging oxygen hole centers are created at all temperatures in the range studied with slightly higher efficiency at room temperature (ration 300 K/150 K ∼ 2.5). Comparison of the dose dependent growth curve of the 4.8 eV absorption and its isochronal annealing curve with those for the oxygen hole center clearly identify the origin of the absorption band with this defect. A threshold temperature ∼ 200 K is found for oxygen vacancy creation consistent with results on single crystalline quartz. Post irradiation annealing at 593 K eliminates the vacancy centers and the peroxy radical resonance appears. Its growth as a function of accumulated ultraviolet dose and irradiation temperature supports the hypothesis that peroxy radicals form by the trapping of diffusing, molecular oxygen at the oxygen vacancy center.
