Neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS) was applied to the generation and characterization of low-valence Sn(I) derivatives. The observation of recovery signals in the NR mass spectra of RSn+ ions (R=H, Cl, Br, CH3, C2H, C6H5) demonstrated that their neutral counterparts are stable species in the gas-phase with a lifetime of at least 5 μs. According to quantum chemical calculations, a favorable Franck–Condon factor may contribute to the stability of RSn neutrals generated in the NR event. The experimental results for tin acetylide and phenyltin are the first examples of the generation of these previously unknown molecular species.

The influences of ammonia (NH 3 ) on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from ozonolysis of styrene have been investigated using chamber experiments and quantum chemical calculations. With the value of [O 3 ] 0 /[styrene] 0 ratios between 2 and 4, chamber experiments were carried out without NH 3 or under different [NH 3 ]/[styrene] 0 ratios. The chamber experiments reveal that the addition of NH 3 led to significant decrease of SOA yield. The overall SOA yield decreased with the [NH 3 ] 0 /[styrene] 0 increasing. In addition, the addition of NH 3 at the beginning of the reaction or several hours after the reaction occurs had obviously different influence on the yield of SOA. Gas phase reactions of Criegee intermediates (CIs) with aldehydes and NH 3 were studied in detail by theoretical methods to probe into the mechanisms behind these phenomena. The calculated results showed that 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-trioxolane, a secondary ozonide formed through the reactions of C 6 H 5 ĊHOO· with C 6 H 5 CHO, could make important contribution to the aerosol composition. The addition of excess NH 3 may compete with aldehydes, decreasing the secondary ozonide yield to some extent and thus affect the SOA formation.
