Abstract
The impacts of Criegee intermediates (CIs) on atmospheric chemistry depend significantly on the CI conformation. In this Perspective, I highlight examples of how electronic structure and statistical rate theory calculations, in conjunction with experiment, have revealed conformation-dependent details of both CI ground-state reactivity and electronic excitation. Calculations using single-reference electronic structure methods and conventional transition state theory have predicted that CIs with syn-alkyl or syn-vinyl substituents isomerize rapidly to vinyl hydroperoxides (VHPs) or dioxoles, both of which can decompose rapidly under atmospheric conditions. Ongoing computational research on hydroxyl radical (OH) roaming initiated by VHP dissociation requires the application of multireference electronic structure methods and variational transition state theory. CIs that lack both syn-alkyl and syn-vinyl substituents undergo either bimolecular reaction or π* ← π electronic excitation in the atmosphere. Accurate predictions of CI ultraviolet-visible spectra require multireference calculations with large active spaces and at least a second-order perturbative treatment of dynamic electron correlation. The extent to which electronic spectra can be diagnostic of the presence of specific CI conformers varies significantly with CI chemical identity.

Abstract
The formation of low-volatility organic compounds in the ozonolysis of α-pinene, the dominant atmospheric monoterpene, provides an important route to aerosol formation. In this work, we consider a previously unexplored set of pathways for the formation of highly oxygenated molecules in α-pinene ozonolysis. Pioneering, direct experimental observations of Lester and co-workers have demonstrated a significant production of hydroxycarbonyl products in the dissociation of Criegee intermediates. Theoretical analyses indicate that this production arises from OH roaming-induced pathways during the OO fission of the vinylhydroperoxides (VHPs), which in turn come from internal H transfers in the Criegee intermediates. Ab initio kinetics computations are used here to explore the OH roaming-induced channels that arise from the ozonolysis of α-pinene. For computational reasons, the calculations consider a surrogate for α-pinene, where two spectator methyl groups are replaced with H atoms. Multireference electronic structure calculations are used to illustrate a variety of energetically accessible OH roaming pathways for the four VHPs arising from the ozonolysis of this α-pinene surrogate. Ab initio transition-state theory-based master equation calculations indicate that for the dissociation of stabilized VHPs, these OH roaming pathways are kinetically significant with a branching that generally increases from ∼20% at room temperature up to ∼70% at lower temperatures representative of the troposphere. For one of the VHPs, this branching already exceeds 60% at room temperature. For the overall ozonolysis process, these branching ratios would be greatly reduced by a limited branching to the stabilized VHP, although there would also be some modest roaming fraction for the nonthermal VHP dissociation process. The strong exothermicities of the roaming-induced isomerizations/additions and abstractions suggest new routes to fission of the cyclobutane rings. Such ring fissions would facilitate further autoxidation reactions, thereby providing a new route for producing highly oxygenated nonvolatile precursors to aerosol formation.

Abstract
The pressure dependence of carbonyl oxide (Criegee intermediate) stabilization can be measured via H2SO4 detection using chemical ionization mass spectrometry. By selectively scavenging OH radicals in a flow reactor containing an alkene, O3, and SO2, we measure an H2SO4 ratio related to the Criegee intermediate stabilization, and by performing experiments at multiple pressures, we constrain the pressure dependence of the stabilization. Here, we present results from a set of monoterpenes as well as isoprene, along with previously published results from tetramethylethylene and a sequence of symmetrical trans alkenes. We are able to reproduce the observations with a physically sensible set of parameters related to standard pressure falloff functions, providing both a consistent picture of the reaction dynamics and a method to describe the pressure stabilization following ozonolysis of all alkenes under a wide range of atmospheric conditions.

Abstract
Alkene ozonolysis generates short-lived Criegee intermediates that are a significant source of hydroxyl (OH) radicals. This study demonstrates that roaming of the separating OH radicals can yield alternate hydroxycarbonyl products, thereby reducing the OH yield. Specifically, hydroxybutanone has been detected as a stable product arising from roaming in the unimolecular decay of the methyl-ethyl-substituted Criegee intermediate (MECI) under thermal flow cell conditions. The dynamical features of this novel multistage dissociation plus a roaming unimolecular decay process have also been examined with ab initio kinetics calculations. Experimentally, hydroxybutanone isomers are distinguished from the isomeric MECI by their higher ionization threshold and distinctive photoionization spectra. Moreover, the exponential rise of the hydroxybutanone kinetic time profile matches that for the unimolecular decay of MECI. A weaker methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) photoionization signal is also attributed to OH roaming. Complementary multireference electronic structure calculations have been utilized to map the unimolecular decay pathways for MECI, starting with 1,4 H atom transfer from a methyl or methylene group to the terminal oxygen, followed by roaming of the separating OH and butanonyl radicals in the long-range region of the potential. Roaming via reorientation and the addition of OH to the vinyl group of butanonyl is shown to yield hydroxybutanone, and subsequent C-O elongation and H-transfer can lead to MVK. A comprehensive theoretical kinetic analysis has been conducted to evaluate rate constants and branching yields (ca. 10-11%) for thermal unimolecular decay of MECI to conventional and roaming products under laboratory and atmospheric conditions, consistent with the estimated experimental yield (ca. 7%).

Abstract
Limonene with endo- and exo-double bonds is a significant monoterpene in the atmosphere and has high reactivity towards O3. We investigated the atmospheric oxidation mechanism of limonene ozonolysis using a high level quantum chemistry calculation coupled with RRKM-ME kinetic simulation. The additions of O3 can take place at both the endo- and exo-double bonds with a branching ratio of 0.87 : 0.13, forming four major highly energized CIs* (named Syn-2a*, Syn-2b*, Anti-2b* and Anti-2c*) with the relative higher fractions of 0.21 : 0.35 : 0.27 : 0.11. A yield of 4% for Limona-ketone was obtained as well. For the unimolecular isomerization pathways of limonene + O3 → POZs → CIs* → SOZ, VHP, or dioxirane, five, one, or none of the internal rotations are treated as hindered internal rotors for CIs*. We obtained percentages of 0.59 : 0.18 : 0.14 in total for separate isomerization routes in the formation of VHPs, dioxirane and SOZs from CIs* using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Additionally, a yield of ∼5% was acquired for stabilized CIs compiling the fractions of different addition routes. About ∼10% of stabilized Anti-2b would isomerize to VHP and 90% would isomerize to SOZs. Isomerization to VHPs dominates the fate of stabilized Syn-2a, Syn-2b and Anti-2c. The overall yield of OH radicals was 0.61. Our study suggested a yield of 0.17 for stabilized SOZs and 0.18 for dioxirane, although both their fates are ambiguous.

Abstract
Isoprene is the most abundant non-methane hydrocarbon emitted into the Earth's atmosphere. Ozonolysis is an important atmospheric sink for isoprene, which generates reactive carbonyl oxide species (R1R2C[double bond, length as m-dash]O+O-) known as Criegee intermediates. This study focuses on characterizing the catalyzed isomerization and adduct formation pathways for the reaction between formic acid and methyl vinyl ketone oxide (MVK-oxide), a four-carbon unsaturated Criegee intermediate generated from isoprene ozonolysis. syn-MVK-oxide undergoes intramolecular 1,4 H-atom transfer to form a substituted vinyl hydroperoxide intermediate, 2-hydroperoxybuta-1,3-diene (HPBD), which subsequently decomposes to hydroxyl and vinoxylic radical products. Here, we report direct observation of HPBD generated by formic acid catalyzed isomerization of MVK-oxide under thermal conditions (298 K, 10 torr) using multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry. The acid catalyzed isomerization of MVK-oxide proceeds by a double hydrogen-bonded interaction followed by a concerted H-atom transfer via submerged barriers to produce HPBD and regenerate formic acid. The analogous isomerization pathway catalyzed with deuterated formic acid (D2-formic acid) enables migration of a D atom to yield partially deuterated HPBD (DPBD), which is identified by its distinct mass (m/z 87) and photoionization threshold. In addition, bimolecular reaction of MVK-oxide with D2-formic acid forms a functionalized hydroperoxide adduct, which is the dominant product channel, and is compared to a previous bimolecular reaction study with normal formic acid. Complementary high-level theoretical calculations are performed to further investigate the reaction pathways and kinetics.

Abstract
Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs, CxF2x+1CH═CH2) have great potential to replace hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as refrigerants. Here the kinetics for the reaction of syn-CH3CHOO with CF3CH═CH2 (HFO-1243zf), the simplest of HFOs, have been studied in a flash photolysis flow reactor at a total pressure of 50 Torr, by using the OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. The bimolecular reaction rate coefficients were measured at temperatures ranging from 283 to 318 K. A weak positive temperature dependence was observed, with an activation energy of 1.41 ± 0.12 kcal mol-1. At 298 K, the measured rate coefficient was (2.42 ± 0.51) × 10-14 cm3 s-1, in the vicinity of the previously reported upper limit value for the reaction of CH2OO with CF3CH═CH2.

Abstract
The gas-phase ozonolysis mechanism of 3-carene is investigated using high level quantum chemistry and kinetic calculations. The reaction follows the Criegee mechanism with an initial addition of O3 to the [double bond splayed left]C[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond splayed right] bond, followed by a chain of unimolecular isomerizations, as 3-carene + O3→ POZs (primary ozonides) → CIs (Criegee intermediates, 4 conformers) → Ps (products). In the course of the reaction, a large excess of energy retained in the POZs* lead to the prompt unimolecular processes in POZs*, CIs*, and Ps*, and only ∼4% of CIs* could be stabilized by collision at 298 K and 760 Torr. From RRKM-ME calculations, the VHPs* could further dissociate to vinoxy-type radical and OH radical, the SOZs* could isomerize to 3-caronic acid, and DIOs* could be stabilized via collision. The fractional yield of OH radical, in the range of 0.56 to 0.59, agrees reasonably well with the previously measured value of 1.06 (with an uncertainty factor of 1.5).

Abstract
The reaction of ozone with isoprene, one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, produces three distinct carbonyl oxide species (RR'COO) known as Criegee intermediates: formaldehyde oxide (CH2OO), methyl vinyl ketone oxide (MVK-OO), and methacrolein oxide (MACR-OO). The nature of the substituents (R,R' = H, CH3, CH═CH2) and conformations of the Criegee intermediates control their subsequent chemistry in the atmosphere. In particular, unimolecular decay of MVK-OO is predicted to be the major source of hydroxyl radicals (OH) in isoprene ozonolysis. This study reports the initial laboratory synthesis and direct detection of MVK-OO through reaction of a photolytically generated, resonance-stabilized monoiodoalkene radical with O2. MVK-OO is characterized utilizing infrared (IR) action spectroscopy, in which IR activation of MVK-OO with two quanta of CH stretch at ca. 6000 cm-1 is coupled with ultraviolet detection of the resultant OH products. MVK-OO is identified by comparison of the experimentally observed IR spectral features with theoretically predicted IR absorption spectra. For syn-MVK-OO, the rate of appearance of OH products agrees with the unimolecular decay rate predicted using statistical theory with tunneling. This validates the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism and computed transition-state barrier (18.0 kcal mol-1) leading to OH products. Theoretical calculations reveal an additional roaming pathway between the separating radical fragments, which results in other products. Master equation modeling yields a thermal unimolecular decay rate for syn-MVK-OO of 33 s-1 (298 K, 1 atm). For anti-MVK-OO, theoretical exploration of several unimolecular decay pathways predicts that isomerization to dioxole is the most likely initial step to products.

Abstract
Alkene ozonolysis is a primary oxidation pathway for anthropogenic and biogenic alkenes emitted into the troposphere. It is also an important source of atmospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals, often called the atmosphere's detergent. Alkene ozonolysis takes place through a highly exothermic reaction pathway with multiple intermediates and barriers prior to releasing the OH radical products. This Account focuses on a key reaction intermediate with a carbonyl oxide functional group (-COO), known as the Criegee intermediate, which is formed along with a carbonyl coproduct in alkene ozonolysis reactions. Under atmospheric conditions, the initially energized Criegee intermediates may promptly decay to OH products or be collisionally stabilized prior to thermal decay to OH radicals and other products. Alternatively, the stabilized Criegee intermediates may undergo bimolecular reactions with atmospheric species, including water vapor and sulfur dioxide, which can lead to nucleation and growth of aerosols. The dimethyl-substituted Criegee intermediate, (CH3)2COO, is utilized in this Account to showcase recent efforts to experimentally measure and theoretically predict the rates for prompt and thermal unimolecular decay processes of prototypical Criegee intermediates under laboratory and atmospheric conditions. The experimental laboratory studies utilize an alternative synthesis method to efficiently generate Criegee intermediates via the reaction of iodoalkyl radicals with O2. Infrared excitation is then used to prepare the (CH3)2COO Criegee intermediates at specific energies in the vicinity of the transition state barrier or significantly below the barrier for 1,4-hydrogen transfer that leads to OH products. The rate of unimolecular decay is revealed through direct time-domain measurements of the appearance of OH products utilizing ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence detection under collision-free conditions. Complementary high-level theoretical calculations are carried out to evaluate the transition state barrier and the energy-dependent unimolecular decay rates for (CH3)2COO using Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory, which are in excellent accord with the experimental measurements. Quantum mechanical tunneling through the barrier, incorporated through Eckart and semiclassical transition state theory models, is shown to make a significant contribution to the unimolecular decay rates at energies in the vicinity of and much below the barrier. Master equation modeling is used to extend the energy-dependent unimolecular rates to thermal decay rates of (CH3)2COO under tropospheric conditions (high pressure limit), which agree well with recent laboratory measurements [ Smith et al. J. Phys. Chem. A 2016 , 120 , 4789 and Chhantyal-Pun et al. J. Phys. Chem. A 2017 , 121 , 4 - 15 ]. Again, tunneling is shown to enhance the thermal decay rate by orders of magnitude. The experimentally validated unimolecular rates are also utilized in modeling the prompt and thermal unimolecular decay of chemically activated (CH3)2COO formed upon ozonolysis of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene under atmospheric conditions [ Drozd et al. J. Phys. Chem. A 2017 , 121 , 6036 - 6045 ]. Future challenges lie in extension of these spectroscopic and dynamical methods to Criegee intermediates derived from more complex ozonolysis reactions involving biogenic alkenes.

Abstract
High-level ab initio and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamic calculations have been carried out on a series of hydroperoxyalkyl (α-QOOH) radicals with the aim of investigating the stability and unimolecular decomposition mechanism into QO+OH of these species. Dissociation was shown to take place through rotation of the C-O(OH) bond rather than through elongation of the CO-OH bond. Through the C-O(OH) rotation, the unpaired electron of the radical overlaps with the electron density on the O-OH bond, and from this overlap the C=O π bond forms and the O-OH bond breaks spontaneously. The CH2 OOH, CH(CH3 )OOH, CH(OH)OOH, and α-hydroperoxycycloheptadienyl radical were found to decompose spontaneously, but the CH(CHO)OOH has a decomposition energy barrier of 5.95 kcal mol-1 owing to its steric and electronic features. The systems studied in this work provide the first insights into how structural and electronic effects govern the stabilizing influence on elusive α-QOOH radicals.

Abstract
Many alkyl-substituted Criegee intermediates are predicted to undergo an intramolecular 1,4-hydrogen transfer to form isomeric vinyl hydroperoxide species (C[double bond, length as m-dash]COOH moiety), which break apart to release OH and vinoxy radicals. We report direct detection of stabilized vinyl hydroperoxides formed via carboxylic acid-catalyzed tautomerization of Criegee intermediates. A doubly hydrogen-bonded interaction between the Criegee intermediate and carboxylic acid facilitates efficient hydrogen transfer through a double hydrogen shift. Deuteration of formic or acetic acid permits migration of a D atom to yield partially deuterated vinyl hydroperoxides, which are distinguished from the CH3CHOO, (CH3)2COO, and CH3CH2CHOO Criegee intermediates by mass. Using 10.5 eV photoionization, three prototypical vinyl hydroperoxides, CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]CHOOD, CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]C(CH3)OOD, and CH3CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHOOD, are detected directly. Complementary electronic structure calculations reveal several reaction pathways, including the barrierless acid-catalyzed tautomerization reaction predicted previously and a barrierless addition reaction that yields hydroperoxy alkyl formate.

Abstract
The prospects of a control for a novel gallium nitride pseudo-halide vapor phase epitaxy (PHVPE) with HCN were thoroughly analyzed for hydrocarbons-NH3-Ga gas phase on the basis of quantum chemical investigation with DFT (B3LYP, B3LYP with D3 empirical correction on dispersion interaction) and ab-initio (CASSCF, coupled clusters, and multireference configuration interaction including MRCI+Q) methods. The computational screening of reactions for different hydrocarbons (CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C2H4, and C2H2) as readily available carbon precursors for HCN formation, potential chemical transport agents, and for controlled carbon doping of deposited GaN was carried out with the B3LYP method in conjunction with basis sets up to aug-cc-pVTZ. The gas phase intermediates for the reactions in the Ga-hydrocarbon systems were predicted at different theory levels. The located π-complexes Ga…C2H2 and Ga…C2H4 were studied to determine a probable catalytic activity in reactions with NH3. A limited influence of the carbon-containing atmosphere was exhibited for the carbon doping of GaN crystal in the conventional GaN chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process with hydrocarbons injected in the gas phase. Our results provide a basis for experimental studies of GaN crystal growth with C2H4 and C2H2 as auxiliary carbon reagents for the Ga-NH3 and Ga-C-NH3 CVD systems and prerequisites for reactor design to enhance and control the PHVPE process through the HCN synthesis.

Abstract
Dimethyl- and ethyl-substituted Criegee intermediates, (CH3)2COO and CH3CH2CHOO, are photolytically generated from diiodo precursors, detected by VUV photoionization at 118 nm, and spectroscopically characterized via UV-induced depletion of the m/z = 74 signals under jet-cooled conditions. In each case, UV excitation resonant with the B-X transition results in significant ground-state depletion, reflecting the large absorption cross section and rapid dynamics in the excited B state. The broad UV absorption spectra of both (CH3)2COO and CH3CH2CHOO peak at ~320 nm with absorption cross sections approaching ~4 × 10(-17) cm(2) molec(-1). The UV absorption spectra for (CH3)2COO and CH3CH2CHOO are similar to that reported previously for syn-CH3CHOO, suggesting analogous intramolecular interactions between the α-H and terminal O of the COO groups. Hydroxyl radical products generated concurrently with the Criegee intermediates are detected by 1 + 1' resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization. The OH signals, scaled relative to those for the Criegee intermediates, are compared with prior studies of OH yield from alkene ozonolysis. The stationary points along the reaction coordinates from the alkyl-substituted Criegee intermediates to vinyl hydroperoxides and OH products are also computed to provide insight on the OH yields.

Abstract
Electronic structure calculations indicate that the organic acids catalyze the tautomerization of Criegee intermediates via a 1,4 β-hydrogen atom transfer to yield a vinyl hydroperoxide to such an extent that it becomes a barrierless process.

Abstract
The mechanism of the chemical reaction of H2O with three stabilized Criegee intermediates (stabCI-OO, stabCI-CH3-OO and stabCIx-OO) produced via the limonene ozonolysis reaction has been investigated using ab initio and DFT (Density Functional Theory) methods. It has been shown that the formation of the hydrogen-bonded complexes is followed by two different reaction pathways, leading to the formation of either OH radicals via water-catalyzed H migration or of α-hydroxy hydroperoxide. Both pathways were found to be essential sources of atmospheric OH radical and H2O2 making a significant contribution to the formation of secondary aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. The activation energies at the CCSD(T)/6-31G(d) + CF level of theory were found to be in the range of 14.70-21.98 kcal mol-1. The formation of α-hydroxy hydroperoxide for the reaction of stabCIx-OO and H2O with the activation energy of 14.70 kcal mol-1 is identified as the most favorable pathway.
