Abstract
We report the one-dimensional cuts of the six-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the ground and lowest doublet and quartet electronic states of trans-HO3 at the MRCI-F12/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Theoretical calculations predict that the first excited state (A2A) presents a real minimum on its PES and possesses a nonplanar structure. The adiabatic excitation energy at the MRCI+Q and MRCI-F12 levels shows that the A2A state lies in the near-infrared region. Both the transition dipole moment and the oscillator strength were predicted to be weak, which suggests that photodissociation of HO3 to produce OH and O2 after UV-Vis absorption is not a plausible mechanism. The harmonic vibrational frequencies and rotational constants of the weakly bound complex OH-O2 in the two electronic states were predicted to help in its detection. Our PES shows that the reactions of H + O3 or HO2 + O in their ground states do not lead to trans-HO3 in its ground electronic state if one of the component fragments, i.e., HO2(A2A') + O(3P) or H(2S) + O3(3B2), is excited.

Abstract
The hydridotrioxygen (HO3) radical has been investigated in many previous theoretical and experimental studies over several decades, originally because of its possible relevance to the tropospheric HOx cycle but more recently because of its fascinating chemical bonding, geometric structure, and vibrational dynamics. We have executed new, comprehensive research on this vexing molecule via focal point analyses (FPA) to approach the ab initio limit of optimized geometric structures, relative energies, complete quartic force fields, and the entire reaction path for cis-trans isomerization. High-order coupled cluster theory was applied through the CCSDT(Q) and even CCSDTQ(P) levels, and CBS extrapolations were performed using cc-pVXZ (X = 2-6) basis sets. The cis isomer proves to be higher than trans by 0.52 kcal mol-1, but this energetic ordering is achieved only after the CCSDT(Q) milestone is reached; the barrier for cis → trans isomerization is a minute 0.27 kcal mol-1. The FPA central re(O-O) bond length of trans-HO3 is astonishingly long (1.670 Å), consistent with the semiexperimental re distance we extracted from microwave rotational constants of 10 isotopologues using FPA vibration-rotation interaction constants (αi). The D0(HO-O2) dissociation energy converges to a mere 2.80 ± 0.25 kcal mol-1. Contrary to expectation for such a weakly bound system, vibrational perturbation theory performs remarkably well with the FPA anharmonic force fields, even for the torsional fundamental near 130 cm-1. Exact numerical procedures are applied to the potential energy function for the torsional reaction path to obtain energy levels, tunneling rates, and radiative lifetimes. The cis → trans isomerization occurs via tunneling with an inherent half-life of 1.4 × 10-11 s and 8.6 × 10-10 s for HO3 and DO3, respectively, thus resolving the mystery of why the cis species has not been observed in previous experiments executed in dissipative environments that allow collisional cooling of the trans-HO3 product. In contrast, the pure ground eigenstate of the cis species in a vacuum is predicted to have a spontaneous radiative lifetime of about 1 h and 5 days for HO3 and DO3, respectively.

Abstract
We report the results of laboratory measurements of H2O2 production inside thin (50 nm thickness) H2O and H2O:O2 ice samples irradiated by 121.6 nm photons at different temperatures. In the case of H2O ice, H2O2 is formed at the temperatures below 60 К. In the case of H2O:O2 ice, H2O2 is formed in the 20–140 К range. For H2O:O2 = 9:1 ice, we derived H2O2 photochemical quantum yield as a function of sample irradiation temperature. The obtained data can be used for evaluation of H2O2 photoproduction at the surface of astrophysical water ice bodies and inside the particles of Noctilucent Clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Abstract
Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions are ubiquitous and play a crucial role in chemistries occurring in the atmosphere, biology, and industry. In the atmosphere, the most common and traditional HAT reaction is that associated with the OH radical abstracting a hydrogen atom from the plethora of organic molecules in the troposphere via R-H + OH → R + H2O. This reaction motif involves a single hydrogen transfer. More recently, in the literature, there is an emerging framework for a new class of HAT reactions that involves double hydrogen transfers. These reactions are broadly classified into four categories: (i) addition, (ii) elimination, (iii) substitution, and (iv) rearrangement. Hydration and dehydration are classic examples of addition and elimination reactions, respectively whereas tautomerization or isomerization belongs to a class of rearrangement reactions. Atmospheric acids and water typically mediate these reactions. Organic and inorganic acids are present in appreciable levels in the atmosphere and are capable of facilitating two-point hydrogen bonding interactions with oxygenates possessing an hydroxyl and/or carbonyl-type functionality. As a result, acids influence the reactivity of oxygenates and, thus, the energetics and kinetics of their HAT-based chemistries. The steric and electronic effects of acids play an important role in determining the efficacy of acid catalysis. Acids that reduce the steric strain of 1:1 substrate···acid complex are generally better catalysts. Among a family of monocarboxylic acids, the electronic effects become important; barrier to the catalyzed reaction correlates strongly with the pKa of the acid. Under acid catalysis, the hydration of carbonyl compounds leads to the barrierless formation of diols, which can serve as seed particles for atmospheric aerosol growth. The hydration of sulfur trioxide, which is the principle mechanism for atmospheric sulfuric acid formation, also becomes barrierless under acid catalysis. Rate calculations suggest that such acid catalysis play a key role in the formation of sulfuric acid in the Earth's stratosphere, Venusian atmosphere, and on heterogeneous surfaces. Over the past few years, theoretical calculations have shown that these acid-mediated double hydrogen atom transfers are important in the chemistry of Earth's atmosphere as well as that of other planets. This Account reviews and puts into perspective some of these atmospheric HAT reactions and their environmental significance.

Abstract
The emergence of chemical complexity during star and planet formation is largely guided by the chemistry of unstable molecules that are reaction intermediates in terrestrial chemistry. Our knowledge of these intermediates is limited by both the lack of laboratory studies and the difficulty in their astronomical detection. In this work, we focus on the weakly bound cluster HO3 as an example of the connection between laboratory spectroscopic study and astronomical observations. Here, we present a fast-sweep spectroscopic technique in the millimeter and submillimeter range to facilitate the laboratory search for trans-HO3 and DO3 transitions in a discharge supersonic jet and report their rotational spectra from 70 to 450 GHz. These new measurements enable full determination of the molecular constants of HO3 and DO3. We also present a preliminary search for trans-HO3 in 32 star-forming regions using this new spectroscopic information. HO3 is not detected, and column density upper limits are reported. This work provides additional benchmark information for computational studies of this intriguing radical, as well as a reliable set of molecular constants for extrapolation of the transition frequencies of HO3 for future astronomical observations.

Abstract
We present laboratory studies on radiation chemistry, sputtering, and amorphization of crystalline H(2)O(2) induced by 20 keV protons at 80 K. We used infrared spectroscopy to identify H(2)O, O(3), and possibly HO(3), measure the fluence dependence of the fraction of crystalline and amorphous H(2)O(2) and of the production of H(2)O and destruction of H(2)O(2). Furthermore, using complementary techniques, we observe that the sputtering yield depends on fluence due to the buildup of O(2) radiation products in the sample. In addition, we find that the effective cross sections for the destruction of hydrogen peroxide and the production of water are very high compared to radiation chemical processes in water even though the fluence dependence of amorphization is nearly the same for the two materials. This result is consistent with a model of fast cooling of a liquid track produced by each projectile ion rather than with the disorder produced by the formation of radiolytic products.

Abstract
The hydrogen trioxy radical (HO3) has been proposed as an intermediate in several important chemical reactions and relaxation processes involving OH in the atmosphere. In this work, the gas-phase infrared action spectrum of HO3 is obtained in the OH overtone region, along with the product state distribution of the OH fragment following dissociation. The highest observed OH product channel sets an upper limit for the HO-O2 binding energy of 6.12 kcal mol(-1). The experimental stability of HO3 and derived equilibrium constant imply that up to 66% of atmospheric OH may be converted into HO3 in the tropopause region.

Abstract
In order to investigate the chemical reactions inside water-oxygen ice mixtures in extreme environments, and to confirm the proposed reaction mechanisms in pure water ice, we conducted a detailed infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry study on the electron irradiation of H(2)(18)O/O(2) ice mixtures. The formation of molecular hydrogen, isotopically substituted oxygen molecules (18)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O, ozone ((16)O(16)O(16)O, (16)O(16)O(18)O, and (16)O(18)O(16)O), hydrogen peroxide (H(18)O(18)OH, H(16)O(16)OH and H(16)O(18)OH), hydrotrioxy (HOOO), and dihydrogentrioxide (HOOOH) were detected. Kinetic models and reaction mechanisms are proposed to form these molecules in water and oxygen-rich solar system ices.
