Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out to investigate the ozonolysis of trans-2-methyl-2-pentenal. The experiments were conducted in atmospheric simulation chambers coupled to a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in the presence of an excess of cyclohexane in dry conditions (RH < 1%). The ozonolysis reaction was investigated theoretically from the results of accurate density functional (M06-2X) and ab initio [CCSD(T)] computations, employing the AVTZ basis set. The sequence of reaction steps was established, and the system of kinetics equations was modeled using MESMER. In the first step, a primary ozonide is formed, which then decomposes along two pathways. The principal ozonolysis products are propanal, methylglyoxal, ethylformate, and a secondary ozonide. An interesting competition between sequential reaction steps and well-skipping is found, which leads to an inversion of the expected methylglyoxal/propanal product ratio at temperatures below 210 K. The mechanism of the "hot ester" reaction channel of the Criegee intermediate was revisited. The computed ozonolysis rate constant and product branching ratio are in excellent agreement with the experimental data that are also reported in the present work.

Abstract
The gas-phase reaction between trans-2-hexenal (T2H) and chlorine atoms (Cl) was studied using three complementary experimental setups at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. In this work, we studied the rate constant for the titled oxidation reaction as well as the formation of the gas-phase products and secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). The rate constant of the T2H + Cl reaction was determined using the relative method in a simulation chamber using proton-transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) to monitor the loss of T2H and the reference compound. An average reaction rate constant of (3.17 ± 0.72) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 was obtained. From this, the atmospheric lifetime of T2H due to Cl reaction was estimated to be 9 h for coastal regions. HCl, CO, and butanal were identified as primary products using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The molar yield of butanal was (6.4 ± 0.3)%. Formic acid was identified as a secondary product by FTIR. In addition, butanal, 2-chlorohexenal, and 2-hexenoic acid were identified as products by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry but not quantified. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on the observed products. SOA formation was observed by using a fast mobility particle sizer spectrometer. The measured SOA yields reached maximum values of about 38% at high particle mass concentrations. This work exhibits for the first time that T2H can be a source of SOA in coastal atmospheres, where Cl concentrations can be high at dawn, or in industrial areas, such as ceramic industries, where Cl precursors may be present.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the reaction mechanism and kinetics of ozone with trans-2-pentenal using density functional theory (DFT) and conventional transition state theory (CTST). At 298 K and 1 atm, the gas-phase reaction mechanisms and kinetic parameters were calculated at the level of CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p)//M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p). Both CC and CO bond cycloaddition as well as hydrogen abstraction were found. The calculations indicated that the main reaction path is 1,3-dipole cycloaddition reactions of ozone with CC bond with the relatively lower syn-energy-barrier of 3.35 kcal mol-1 to form primary ozonide which decomposed to produce a carbonyl oxide called a Criegee intermediate (CI) and an aldehyde. The subsequent reactions of CIs were analysed in detail. It is found that the reaction pathways of the novelty CIs containing an aldehyde group are extremely similar with general CIs when they react with NO, NO2, SO2, H2O, CH2O and O2. The condensed Fukui function were calculated to identify the active site of the chosen molecules. At 298 K and 1 atm, the reaction rate coefficient was 9.13 × 10-18 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 with atmospheric lifetime of 1.3 days. The calculated rate constant is in general agreement with the available experimental data. The branching ratios indicated that syn-addition pathways are prior to anti-addition. The atmospheric ratios for CIs formation and the bimolecular reaction rate constants for the Criegee intermediates with the variety of partners were calculated. Our theoretical results are of importance in atmospheric chemistry of unsaturated aldehyde oxidation by ozone.

Abstract
We investigated the kinetics, mechanism and secondary organic aerosols formation of the ozonolysis of trans-2-pentenal (T2P) using four different reactors with Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography (GC) techniques at T = 298 ± 2 K and 760 Torr in dry conditions. The rate coefficients and branching ratios were also evaluated using the canonical variational transition (CVT) state theory coupled with small curvature tunneling (CVT/SCT) in the range 278–350 K. The experimental rate coefficient at 298 K was (1.46 ± 0.17) × 10−18 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, in good agreement with the theoretical rate. The two primary carbonyls formation yields, glyoxal and propanal, were 57 ± 10% and 42 ± 12%, respectively, with OH scavenger compared to 38 ± 8% for glyoxal and 26 ± 5% for propanal without OH scavenger. Acetaldehyde and 2-hydroxypropanal were also identified and quantified with yields of 9 ± 3% and 5 ± 2%, respectively, in the presence of OH scavenger. For the OH production, an upper limit of 24% was estimated using mesitylene as OH tracer. Combining experimental and theoretical findings enabled the establishment of a chemical mechanism. Finally, the SOA formation was observed with mass yields of about 1.5%. This work provides additional information on the effect of the aldehyde functional group on the fragmentation of the primary ozonide.

Abstract
We evaluated different approaches to discuss the reactivity of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls comparative to alkene analogues. It was found that the reactivity factors xr, defined as the relative ratio between the rate coefficient of the carbonyl and a core structure, allow a semi-quantitative estimation of substituent effects in α,β-unsaturated acids, aldehydes and esters when the carbonyl containing substituent is replaced by a hydrogen atom. By contrast, it can be shown that the reactivity of the corresponding ketones differs from the other carbonyls. A linear correlation is presented between the xr- values and the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group of the unsaturated esters, which can be used to predict ozonolysis rate coefficients. For this systematic analysis the following rate coefficients (in 10-18 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) have been determined at 298 ± 2 K and 990 ± 15 mbar and under dry conditions using the relative rate method: k(O3 + methyl methacrylate) = 7.0 ± 0.9, k(O3 + methyl crotonate) = 5.5 ± 1.4, k(O3 + methyl 3-methyl-3-butenoate) = 1.3 ± 0.3, k(O3 + methyl tiglate) = 65 ± 11, k(O3 + 3-penten-2-one) = 31 ± 7, k(O3 + 3-methyl-3-penten-2-one) = 80 ± 19, k(O3 + 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one) = 8.4 ± 0.8.
