Abstract
Glyoxylic acid is formed in the troposphere by oxidation of organic molecules. In sea salt aerosols, it is expected to be present as glyoxylate, integrated into the salt environment and strongly interacting with water molecules. In water, glyoxylate is in equilibrium with its gem-diol form. To understand the influence of water and salt on the photophysics and photochemistry of glyoxylate, we generate small model clusters containing glyoxylate by electrospray ionization and study them by Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. We used infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and UV/vis photodissociation spectroscopy for structural characterization as well as quantum chemical calculations to model the spectra and dissociation patterns. Resonant absorption of infrared radiation leads to water evaporation, which indicates that water and glyoxylate are separate molecular entities in a significant fraction of the clusters, in line with the observed absorption of UV light in the actinic region. Hydration of glyoxylate leads to a change of the dihedral angle in the CHOCOO-·H2O complex, causing a slight redshift of the S1 ← S0 transition. However, the barriers for internal rotation are below 5 kJ mol-1, which explains the broad S1 ← S0 absorption extending from about 320 to 380 nm. Most importantly, hydration hinders dissociation in the S1 state, thus enhancing the quantum yield of fluorescence combined with water evaporation. No C-C bond photolysis is observed, but due to the limited signal-to-noise ratio, it cannot be ruled out. The quantum yield, however, will be relatively low. Fluorescence dominates the photophysics of glyoxylate embedded in the dry salt cluster, but the quantum yield shifts towards internal conversion upon addition of one or two water molecules.

Abstract
Advanced Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared by wet chemical oxidation-reduction method, using mainly the tannic acid as reducing agent and carboxymethylcellulose sodium as stabilizer. The prepared Ag NPs uniformly disperse and are stable for more than one month without agglomeration. The studies of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy indicate that the Ag NPs are in homogeneous sphere with only 4.4 nm average size and narrow particle size distribution. Electrochemical measurements reveal that the Ag NPs behave excellent catalytic activity for electroless copper plating using glyoxylic acid as reducing agent. In situ fourier transform infrared (in situ FTIR) spectroscopic analysis combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculation illustrate that the molecular oxidation of glyoxylic acid catalyzed by Ag NPs is as the following routes: glyoxylic acid molecule first is adsorbed on Ag atoms with carboxyl oxygen terminal, then hydrolyzed to diol anionic intermediate, and last oxidized to oxalic acid. Time-resolved in situ FTIR spectroscopy further reveals the real-time reactions of electroless copper plating as follows: glyoxylic acid is continuously oxidized to oxalic acid and releases electrons at the active catalyzing spots of Ag NPs, and Cu(II) coordination ions are in situ reduced by the electrons. Based on the excellent catalytic activity, the advanced Ag NPs can replace the expensive Pd colloids catalyst and successfully apply in through-holes metallization of printed circuit board (PCB) by electroless copper plating.

Abstract
Glyoxylic and pyruvic oxoacids are widely available in the atmosphere as gas-phase clusters and particles or in wet aerosols. In aqueous conditions, they undergo interconversion between the unhydrated oxo and gem-diol forms, where two hydroxyl groups replace the carbonyl group. We here examine the hydration equilibrium of glyoxylic and pyruvic acids with first-principles simulations in water at ambient conditions using ab initio metadynamics to reconstruct the corresponding free-energy landscapes. The main results are as follows: (i) our simulations reveal the high conformational diversity of these species in aqueous solutions. (ii) We show that gem-diol is strongly favored in water compared to its oxo counterpart by 29 and 16 kJ/mol for glyoxylic and pyruvic acids, respectively. (iii) From our atomic-scale simulations, we present new insights into the reaction mechanisms with a special focus on hydrogen-bond arrangements and the electronic structure of the transition state.

Abstract
Lactic acid, a relevant molecule in biology and the environment, is an α-hydroxy acid with a high propensity to form hydrogen bonds, both internally and to other hydrogen-bond-accepting molecules. This work includes the novel recording of infrared spectra of gas-phase lactic acid using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the vibrational absorption features of lactic acid are assigned with the aid of computationally simulated vibrational spectra with anharmonic corrections. Theoretical chemistry methods are used to relate intramolecular hydrogen-bond strengths to the relative stability of lactic acid conformers. The formation of hydrogen-bonded lactic acid dimers and 1:1 water complexes is investigated by simulated vibrational spectra and calculated thermodynamic parameters for the lactic acid monomer and dimer and its water complex in the gas phase. The results of this study are discussed in the context of environmental chemistry with an emphasis on indoor environments.

Abstract
Small atmospheric aldehydes and ketones are known to play a significant role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, many of them are difficult to experimentally isolate, as they tend to form hydration and oligomer species. Hydroxyacetone (HA) is unusual in this class as it contributes to SOA while existing predominantly in its unhydrated monomeric form. This allows HA to serve as a valuable model system for similar secondary organic carbonyls. In this paper the surface behavior of HA at the air-water interface has been investigated using vibrational sum frequency (VSF) spectroscopy and Wilhelmy plate surface tensiometry in combination with computational molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. The experimental results demonstrate that HA has a high degree of surface activity and is ordered at the interface. Furthermore, oriented water is observed at the interface, even at high HA concentrations. Spectral features also reveal the presence of both cis and trans HA conformers at the interface, in differing orientations. Molecular dynamics results indicate conformer dependent shifts in HA orientation between the subsurface (∼5 Å deep) and surface. Together, these results provide a picture of a highly dynamic, but statistically ordered, interface composed of multiple HA conformers with solvated water. These results have implications for HA's behavior in aqueous particles, which may affect its role in the atmosphere and SOA formation.

Abstract
Although marine aerosols undergo extensive photochemical processing in the troposphere, a molecular level understanding of the elementary steps involved in these complex reaction sequences is still missing.
Although marine aerosols undergo extensive photochemical processing in the troposphere, a molecular level understanding of the elementary steps involved in these complex reaction sequences is still missing. As a defined laboratory model system, the photodissociation of sea salt clusters doped with glyoxylate, [NanCln–2(C2HO3)]+, n = 5–11, is studied by a combination of mass spectrometry, laser spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Glyoxylate acts as a chromophore, absorbing light below 400 nm via two absorption bands centered at about 346 and 231 nm. Cluster fragmentation dominates, which corresponds to internal conversion of the excited state energy into vibrational modes of the electronic ground state and subsequent unimolecular dissociation. Photochemical dissociation pathways in electronically excited states include CO and HCO elimination, leading to [Nan–xCln–x–2HCOO]+ and [NanCln–2COO˙]+ with typical quantum yields in the range of 1–3% and 5–10%, respectively, for n = 5. The latter species contains CO2˙– stabilized by the salt environment. The comparison of different cluster sizes shows that the fragments containing a carbon dioxide radical anion appear in a broad spectral region of 310–380 nm. This suggests that the elusive CO2˙– species may be formed by natural processes in the troposphere. Based on the photochemical cross sections obtained here, the photolysis lifetime of glyoxylate in a dry marine aerosol is estimated as 10 h. Quantum chemical calculations show that dissociation along the C–C bond in glyoxylic acid as well as glyoxylate embedded in the salt cluster occurs after reaching the S1/S0 conical intersection, while this conical intersection is absent in free glyoxylate ions.

Abstract
Oxocarboxylic acids are one of the most important organic species found in secondary organic aerosols and can be detected in diverse environments. But the hydration of oxocarboxylic acids in the atmosphere has still not been fully understood. Neglecting the hydration of oxocarboxylic acids in atmospheric models may be one of the most important reasons for the significant discrepancies between field measurements and abundance predictions of atmospheric models for oxocarboxylic acids. In the present paper, glyoxylic acid, as the most abundant oxocarboxylic acids in the atmosphere, has been selected as an example to study whether the hydration process can occur in the atmosphere and what the kinetic process of hydration is. The gas-phase hydration of glyoxylic acid to form the corresponding geminal diol and those catalyzed by atmospheric common substances (water, sulfuric acid and ammonia) have been investigated at the CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVDZ-F12//M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level of theory. The contour map of electron density difference of transition states have been further analyzed. It is indicated that these atmospheric common substances can all catalyze on the hydration to some extent and sulfuric acid is the most effective reducing the Gibbs free energy of activation to 9.48 kcal/mol. The effective rate constants combining the overall rate constants and concentrations of the corresponding catalysts have shown that water and sulfuric acid are both important catalysts and the catalysis of sulfuric acid is the most effective for the gas-phase hydration of glyoxylic acid. This catalyzed processes are potentially effective in coastal regions and polluted regions.

Abstract
The 1:1 hydrogen bonded complexes between glyoxylic acid (GA) and water are studied in low temperature argon matrices. Four different complex structures were found in deposited matrices. The lowest energy conformer (T1) of GA was found to form complex, where the water molecule was attached to the opposite side of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the molecule (T1B). Interestingly, this complex was estimated to be+8.0 kJ mol(-1) higher in energy than the most stable structure (T1A), where the water is inserted into the internal hydrogen bond, and also found in solid argon but in smaller abundance. For the second-lowest energy conformer of GA (T2), the two lowest-energy complex structures were identified, with the most stable complex structure (T2A) also being the most abundant in the matrices. The difference between experiment and computational energetic order of the two complex structures of the same GA conformer is explained by contributions of deformation energy upon complexation and the effect of the environment. The computed BSSE-corrected interaction energies are for the two most stable complexes of the two GA conformers for T1A and T2A -42.11 and -45.03 kJ mol(-1), respectively, at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory.

Abstract
Raman microscopy and Attenuated Total Reflection infrared spectroscopy were utilized to facilitate investigations of equilibria between various hydrated and oligomeric forms of glyoxal in aqueous glyoxal solution droplets. The assignment of spectra is obtained with the assistance of B3LYP density functional quantum chemical calculations of vibrational wavenumbers, Raman activities, and infrared intensities. Several forms of glyoxal derivatives with similar functional groups, e.g., hydroxyl and dioxolane rings, are found to be present. The absence of a Raman spectral peak corresponding to the vibrational carbonyl stretch provides evidence that both carbonyl groups of a glyoxal molecule become hydrated in solutions of a broad concentration range. The presence of bands corresponding to deformation vibrations of the dioxolane ring indicates that dihydrated glyoxal oligomers are formed in glyoxal solutions with concentrations of 1 M and higher. Under typical ambient temperature and humidity conditions, concentrated glyoxal solution droplets undergo evaporation with incomplete water loss. Our results suggest that formation of crystalline glyoxal trimer dihydrate from concentrated solutions droplets is hindered by the high viscosity of the amorphous trimer and requires dry conditions that could rarely be achieved in the atmosphere. However, crystallization may be possible for droplets of low initial glyoxal concentrations, such as those produced by evaporating cloud droplets.

Abstract
In aqueous solution, aldehydes, and to a lesser extent ketones, hydrate to form geminal diols. We investigate the hydration of methylglyoxal (MG) in the gas phase, a process not previously considered to occur in water-restricted environments. In this study, we spectroscopically identified methylglyoxal diol (MGD) and obtained the gas-phase partial pressures of MG and MGD. These results, in conjunction with the relative humidity, were used to obtain the equilibrium constant, K(P), for the water-mediated hydration of MG in the gas phase. The Gibbs free energy for this process, DeltaG(o), obtained as a result, suggests a larger than expected gas-phase diol concentration. This may have significant implications for understanding the role of organics in atmospheric chemistry.
