Abstract
The reaction of unsaturated compounds with ozone (O3) is recognized to lead to the formation of Criegee intermediates (CIs), which play a key role in controlling the atmospheric budget of hydroxyl radicals and secondary organic aerosols. The reaction network of two CIs with different functionality, i.e. acetaldehyde oxide (CH3CHOO) and glyoxal oxide (CHOCHOO) formed in the ozone-assisted oxidation reaction of crotanaldehyde (CA), is investigated over a temperature range between 390 K and 840 K in an atmospheric pressure jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at a residence time of 1.3 s, stoichiometry of 0.5 with a mixture of 1% crotonaldehyde, 10% O2, at an fixed ozone concentration of 1000 ppm and 89% Ar dilution. Molecular-beam mass spectrometry in conjunction with single photon tunable synchrotron vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) radiation is used to identify elusive intermediates by means of experimental photoionization energy scans and ab initio threshold energy calculations for isomer identification. Addition of ozone (1000 ppm) is observed to trigger the oxidation of CA already at 390 K, which is below the temperature where the oxidation reaction of CA was observed in the absence of ozone. The observed CA + O3 product, C4H6O4, is found to be linked to a ketohydroperoxide (2-hydroperoxy-3-oxobutanal) resulting from the isomerization of the primary ozonide. Products corresponding to the CIs uni- and bi-molecular reactions were observed and identified. A network of CI reactions is identified in the temperature region below 600 K, characterized by CIs bimolecular reactions with species like aldehydes, i.e., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and crotonaldehyde and alkenes, i.e., ethene and propene. The region below 600 K is also characterized by the formation of important amounts of typical low-temperature oxidation products, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH), and ethyl hydroperoxide (C2H5OOH). Detection of additional oxygenated species such as alcohols, ketene, and aldehydes are indicative of multiple active oxidation routes. This study provides important information about the initial step involved in the CIs assisted oligomerization reactions in complex reactive environments where CIs with different functionalities are reacting simultaneously. It provides new mechanistic insights into ozone-assisted oxidation reactions of unsaturated aldehydes, which is critical for the development of improved atmospheric and combustion kinetics models.

Abstract
Criegee intermediates (CIs), the key intermediates in the ozonolysis of olefins in atmosphere, have received much attention due to their high activity. The reaction mechanism of the most simple Criegee intermediate CH2OO with vinyl alcohol (VA) was investigated by using the HL//M06-2X/def2TZVP method. The temperature and pressure dependent rate constant and product branching ratio were calculated using the master equation method. For CH2OO + syn-VA, 1,4-insertion is the main reaction channel while for the CH2OO + anti-VA, cycloaddition and 1,2-insertion into the O-H bond are more favorable than the 1,4-insertion reaction. The 1,4-insertion or cycloaddition intermediates are stabilized collisionally at 300 K and 760 torr, and the dissociation products involving OH are formed at higher temperature and lower pressure. The rate constants of the CH2OO reaction with syn-VA and anti-VA both show negative temperature effects, and they are 2.95 × 10-11 and 2.07 × 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 300 K, respectively, and the former is agreement with the prediction in the literature.

Abstract
Though there is a growing body of literature on the kinetics of CIs with simple carbonyls, CI reactions with functionalized carbonyls such as hydroxyketones remain unexplored. In this work, the temperature-dependent kinetics of the reactions of CH2OO with two hydroxyketones, hydroxyacetone (AcOH) and 4-hydroxy-2-butanone (4H2B), have been studied using a laser flash photolysis transient absorption spectroscopy technique and complementary quantum chemistry calculations. Bimolecular rate constants were determined from CH2OO loss rates observed under pseudo-first-order conditions across the temperature range 275-335 K. Arrhenius plots were linear and yielded T-dependent bimolecular rate constants: kAcOH(T) = (4.3 ± 1.7) × 10-15 exp[(1630 ± 120)/T] and k4H2B(T) = (3.5 ± 2.6) × 10-15 exp[(1700 ± 200)/T]. Both reactions show negative temperature dependences and overall very similar rate constants. Stationary points on the reaction energy surfaces were characterized using the composite CBS-QB3 method. Transition states were identified for both 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions across the carbonyl and 1,2-insertion/addition at the hydroxyl group. The free-energy barriers for the latter reaction pathways are higher by ∼4-5 kcal mol-1, and their contributions are presumed to be negligible for both AcOH and 4H2B. The cycloaddition reactions are highly exothermic and form cyclic secondary ozonides that are the typical primary products of Criegee intermediate reactions with carbonyl compounds. The reactivity of the hydroxyketones toward CH2OO appears to be similar to that of acetaldehyde, which can be rationalized by consideration of the energies of the frontier molecular orbitals involved in the cycloaddition. The CH2OO + hydroxyketone reactions are likely too slow to be of significance in the atmosphere, except at very low temperatures.

Abstract
UV-vis spectroscopy is widely used for kinetic studies in physical chemistry, as species' absolute cross-sections are usually less sensitive to experimental conditions (i.e., temperature and pressure). Here, we present the design and characterization of a multipass UV-vis absorption spectroscopy white cell coupled to a pulsed-laser photolysis flow reactor. The glass reactor was designed to facilitate studies of gas phase chemical reactions over a range of conditions (239-293 K and 10-550 Torr). Purged windows mitigate contamination from chemical precursors and photolysis products. We report the measured impact of this purging on temperature uniformity and the absorption length and present some supporting flow calculations. The combined optical setup is unique and enables the photolysis laser to be coaligned with a well-defined absorption pathlength probe beam. This alignment leverages the use of one long-pass filter to increase the spectrum flatness and increase the light intensity vs other systems that use two dichroic mirrors. The probe beam is analyzed with a dual exit spectrograph, customized to split the light between an intensified CCD and photomultiplier tube, enabling simultaneous spectrum and single wavelength detection. This multipass system yields a pathlength of ∼450 cm and minimum observable concentrations of ∼3.7 × 1011 molecule cm-3 (assuming cross-sections ∼1.2 × 10-17 cm2). The temperature profile across the reaction region is ±2 K, defined by the worst-case temperature of 239 K, validated by measurements of the N2O4 equilibrium constant. Finally, the system is implemented to study the simplest Criegee intermediate, demonstrating the instrument performance and advantages of simultaneous spectrum and temporal profile measurements.

Abstract
The kinetics of the simplest Criegee intermediate (CH2OO) reaction with water vapor was revisited. By improving the signal-to-noise ratio and the precision of water concentration, we found that the kinetics of CH2OO involves not only two water molecules but also one and three water molecules. Our experimental results suggest that the decay of CH2OO can be described as d[CH2OO]/dt = -kobs[CH2OO]; kobs = k0 + k1[water] + k2[water]2 + k3[water]3; k1 = (4.22 ± 0.48) × 10-16 cm3 s-1, k2 = (10.66 ± 0.83) × 10-33 cm6 s-1, k3 = (1.48 ± 0.17) × 10-50 cm9 s-1 at 298 K and 300 Torr with the respective Arrhenius activation energies of Ea1 = 1.8 ± 1.1 kcal mol-1, Ea2 = -11.1 ± 2.1 kcal mol-1, Ea3 = -17.4 ± 3.9 kcal mol-1. The contribution of the k3[water]3 term becomes less significant at higher temperatures around 345 K, but it is not ignorable at 298 K and lower temperatures. By quantifying the concentrations of H2O and D2O with a Coriolis-type direct mass flow sensor, the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) was investigated at 298 K and 300 Torr and KIE(k1) = k1(H2O)/k1(D2O) = 1.30 ± 0.32; similarly, KIE(k2) = 2.25 ± 0.44 and KIE(k3) = 0.99 ± 0.13. These mild KIE values are consistent with theoretical calculations based on the variational transition state theory, confirming that the title reaction has a broad and low barrier, and the reaction coordinate involves not only the motion of a hydrogen atom but also that of an oxygen atom. Comparing the results recorded under 300 Torr (N2 buffer gas) with those under 600 Torr, a weak pressure effect of k3 was found. From quantum chemistry calculations, we found that the CH2OO + 3H2O reaction is dominated by the reaction pathways involving a ring structure consisting of two water molecules, which facilitate the hydrogen atom transfer, while the third water molecule is hydrogen-bonded outside the ring. Furthermore, analysis based on dipole capture rates showed that the CH2OO(H2O) + (H2O)2 and CH2OO(H2O)2 + H2O pathways will dominate in the three water reaction.

Abstract
The detailed reaction mechanism and kinetics of the C3H3 + CH2OO system have been thoroughly investigated. The CBS-QB3 method in conjunction with the ME/vRRKM theory has been applied to figure out the potential energy surface and rate constants for the C3H3 + CH2OO system. The C3H3 + CH2OO reaction leading to the CH2-[cyc-CCHCHOO] + H product dominates compared to the others. Rate constants of the reaction are dependent on temperatures (300-2000 K) and pressures (1-76,000 Torr), for which the rate constant of the channel C3H3 + CH2OO → CH2-[cyc-CCHCHOO] + H decreases at low pressures (1-76 Torr), but it increases with rising temperature if the pressure P ≥ 760 Torr. Rate constants of the three reaction channels C3H3 + CH2OO → CHCCH2CHO + OH, C3H3 + CH2OO → OCHCHCHCHO + H, and C3H3 + CH2OO → CHCHCHO + CH2O fluctuate with temperatures. The branching ratio of the C3H3 + CH2OO → CH2-[cyc-CCHCHOO] + H channel is the highest, accounting for 51-98.7% in the temperature range of 300-2000 K and 760 Torr pressure, while those of the channels forming the products PR10 (OCHCHCHCHO + H) and PR11 (CHCHCHO + CH2O) are the lowest, less than 0.1%, indicating that the contribution of these two reaction paths to the title reaction is insignificant. The proposed temperature- and pressure-dependent rate constants, together with the thermodynamic data of the species involved, can be confidently used for modeling CH2OO-related systems under atmospheric and combustion conditions.

Abstract
We have performed direct kinetic measurements of the CH2OO + RCN reactions (R = H, CH3, C2H5) in the temperature range 233-360 K and pressure range 10-250 Torr using time-resolved UV-absorption spectroscopy. We have utilized a new photolytic precursor, chloroiodomethane (CH2ICl), whose photolysis at 193 nm in the presence of O2 produces CH2OO. Observed bimolecular rate coefficients for CH2OO + HCN, CH2OO + CH3CN, and CH2OO + C2H5CN reactions at 296 K are (2.22 ± 0.65) × 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, (1.02 ± 0.10) × 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, and (2.55 ± 0.13) × 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, respectively, suggesting that reaction with CH2OO is a potential atmospheric degradation pathway for nitriles. All the reactions have negligible temperature and pressure dependence in the studied regions. Quantum chemical calculations (ωB97X-D/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization with CCSD(T)-F12a/VDZ-F12 electronic energy correction) of the CH2OO + RCN reactions indicate that the barrierless lowest-energy reaction path leads to a ring closure, resulting in the formation of a 1,2,4-dioxazole compound. Master equation modeling results suggest that following the ring closure, chemical activation in the case of CH2OO + HCN and CH2OO + CH3CN reactions leads to a rapid decomposition of 1,2,4-dioxazole into a CH2O + RNCO pair, or by a rearrangement, into a formyl amide (RC(O)NHC(O)H), followed by decomposition into CO and an imidic acid (RC(NH)OH). The 1,2,4-dioxazole, the CH2O + RNCO pair, and the CO + RC(NH)OH pair are atmospherically significant end products to varying degrees.

Abstract
Interest in Criegee intermediates (CIs), often termed carbonyl oxides, and their role in tropospheric chemistry has grown massively since the demonstration of laboratory-based routes to their formation and characterization in the gas phase. This article reviews current knowledge regarding the electronic spectroscopy of atmospherically relevant CIs like CH2 OO, CH3 CHOO, (CH3 )2 COO and larger CIs like methyl vinyl ketone oxide and methacrolein oxide that are formed in the ozonolysis of isoprene, and of selected conjugated carbene-derived CIs of interest in the synthetic chemistry community. Of the aforementioned atmospherically relevant CIs, all except CH2 OO and (CH3 )2 COO exist in different conformers which, under tropospheric conditions, can display strikingly different thermal loss rates via unimolecular and bimolecular processes. Calculated photolysis rates based on their absorption properties suggest that solar photolysis will rarely be a significant contributor to the total loss rate for any CI under tropospheric conditions. Nonetheless, there is ever-growing interest in the absorption cross sections and primary photochemistry of CIs following excitation to the strongly absorbing 1 ππ* state, and how this varies with CI, with conformer and with excitation wavelength. The later part of this review surveys the photochemical data reported to date, including a range of studies that demonstrate prompt photo-induced fission of the terminal O-O bond, and speculates about possible alternate decay processes that could occur following non-adiabatic coupling to, and dissociation from, highly internally excited levels of the electronic ground state of a CI.

Abstract
Unsaturated alcohols are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that characterize the emissions of plants. Changes in climate together with related increases of biotic and abiotic stresses are expected to increase these emissions in the future. Ozonolysis is one of the oxidation pathways that control the fate of unsaturated alcohols in the atmosphere. The rate coefficients of the gas-phase O3 reaction with seven C5-C8 unsaturated alcohols were determined at 296 K using both absolute and relative kinetic methods. The following rate coefficients (cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained using the absolute method: (1.1 ± 0.2) × 10-16 for cis-2-penten-1-ol, (1.2 ± 0.2) × 10-16 for trans-2-hexen-1-ol, (6.4 ± 1.0) × 10-17 for trans-3-hexen-1-ol, (5.8 ± 0.9) × 10-17 for cis-3-hexen-1-ol, (2.0 ± 0.3) × 10-17 for 1-octen-3-ol, and (8.4 ± 1.3) × 10-17 for trans-2-octen-1-ol. The following rate coefficients (cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained using the relative method: (1.27 ± 0.11) × 10-16 for trans-2-hexen-1-ol, (5.01 ± 0.30) × 10-17 for trans-3-hexen-1-ol, (4.13 ± 0.34) × 10-17 for cis-3-hexen-1-ol, and (1.40 ± 0.12) × 10-16 for trans-4-hexen-1-ol. Alkenols display high reactivities with ozone with lifetimes in the hour range. Rate coefficients show a strong and complex dependence on the structure of the alkenol, particularly the relative position of the OH group toward the C═C double bond. The results are discussed and compared to both the available literature data and four structure-activity relationship (SAR) methods.

Abstract
An extended theoretical analysis of the photodissociation of the smallest Criegee intermediate CH2OO following excitation to the B state is presented. It relies on explicitly correlated multireference electronic wavefunctions combined with a quantum dynamical treatment for two interacting (B-C) electronic states and three coupled nuclear degrees of freedom. The 3D model relies on PESs along the O-O and C-O stretching as well as C-O-O bending modes for the two lowest excited states with A' symmetry, and is sufficiently accurate to reproduce the experimental B1A'-X1A' absorption spectrum, especially at the low-energy range to unprecedented accuracy. The existence of a deep well (∼0.4 eV) on the (diabatic) B state causes a considerable amount of the wavepacket to be reflected by the B state well, which can explain the vibronic structures appearing in the long wavelength range of 360-470 nm of the spectrum. The main progression appearing in the energy range from 360 to 470 nm is assigned to the O-O stretching mode while finer details are affected by couplings to the C-O stretching and C-O-O bending modes. The weakly avoided crossing between the B-state and C-state potential energy surfaces appearing near 3.1 eV excitation energy (for RS2-F12 method) causes considerable disturbance in the vibronic fine structure of the bands. The description of the latter is quite strongly affected by the type of electron correlation treatment adopted, either fully variational (MRCI type) or perturbation theoretic (RS2 type). The results give novel insight into the complex interactions governing that intriguing process.

Abstract
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) contributes substantially to the atmospheric Cl; both species could affect the composition of Earth's atmosphere and the fate of pollutants. Here, we present the kinetics study for syn-CH3CHOO reaction with HCl using experimental measurement and theoretical calculations. The experiment was conducted in a flow tube reactor at a pressure of 10 Torr and temperatures ranging from 283 to 318 K by using the OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. Transition-state theory and quantum chemistry calculations with QCISD(T) were used to calculate the rate coefficients. Weak negative temperature dependence was observed with a measured activation energy of -(2.98 ± 0.12) kcal mol-1 and a calculated zero-point-corrected barrier energy of -3.29 kcal mol-1. At 298 K, the rate coefficient was measured to be (4.77 ± 0.95) × 10-11 cm3 s-1, which was in reasonable agreement with 2.2 × 10-11 cm3 s-1 from the theoretical calculation.

Abstract
Rate constants for the reactions between the simplest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, with acetone, the α-diketones biacetyl and acetylpropionyl, and the β-diketones acetylacetone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,4-pentanedione have been measured at 295 K. CH2OO was produced photochemically in a flow reactor by 355 nm laser flash photolysis of diiodomethane in the presence of excess oxygen. Time-dependent concentrations were measured using broadband transient absorption spectroscopy, and the reaction kinetics was characterized under pseudo-first-order conditions. The bimolecular rate constant for the CH2OO + acetone reaction is measured to be (4.1 ± 0.4) × 10-13 cm3 s-1, consistent with previous measurements. The reactions of CH2OO with the β-diketones acetylacetone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,5-pentanedione are found to have broadly similar rate constants of (6.6 ± 0.7) × 10-13 and (3.5 ± 0.8) × 10-13 cm3 s-1, respectively; these values may be cautiously considered as upper limits. In contrast, α-diketones react significantly faster, with rate constants of (1.45 ± 0.18) × 10-11 and (1.29 ± 0.15) × 10-11 cm3 s-1 measured for biacetyl and acetylpropionyl. The potential energy surfaces for these 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions are characterized at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ and CBS-QB3 levels of theory and provide additional support to the observed experimental trends. The reactivity of carbonyl compounds with CH2OO is also interpreted by application of frontier molecular orbital theory and predicted using Hammett substituent constants. Finally, the results are compared with other kinetic studies of Criegee intermediate reactions with carbonyl compounds and discussed within the context of their atmospheric relevance.

Abstract
The kinetics for the reactions of CH2OO and syn-CH3CHOO with acrolein, a typical unsaturated aldehyde in the atmosphere, were studied in a flash photolysis flow reactor using the OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. The bimolecular reaction rate coefficients were measured at temperatures ranging from 281 to 318 K, and pressures ranging from 5 to 200 Torr. No obvious dependence of the rate coefficients on pressure was observed under the current experimental conditions. Both reactions exhibit negative temperature-dependence, with an activation energy of (-1.70 ± 0.19) and (-1.47 ± 0.24) kcal mol-1 for CH2OO and syn-CH3CHOO reacting with acrolein, derived from the Arrhenius equation. At 298 K, the measured rate coefficients for CH2OO/syn-CH3CHOO + acrolein reactions are (1.63 ± 0.19) × 10-12 cm3 s-1 and (1.17 ± 0.16) × 10-13 cm3 s-1, respectively. The rate coefficient of the former reaction is in reasonable agreement with a recent theoretical result.

Abstract
The hydrolysis reaction of CH2OO with water and water clusters is believed to be a dominant sink for the CH2OO intermediate in the atmosphere. However, the favorable route for the hydrolysis of CH2OO with water clusters is still unclear. Here global minimum searching using the Tsinghua Global Minimum program has been introduced to find the most stable geometry of the CH2OO(H2O)n (n = 1-4) complex firstly. Then, based on these stable complexes, favorable hydrolysis of CH2OO with (H2O)n (n = 1-4) has been investigated using the quantum chemical method of CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVDZ-F12//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) and canonical variational transition state theory with small curvature tunneling. The calculated results have revealed that, although the contribution of CH2OO + (H2O)2 is the most obvious in the hydrolysis of CH2OO with (H2O)n (n = 1-4), the hydrolysis of CH2OO with (H2O)3 is not negligible in atmospheric gas-phase chemistry as its rate is close to the rate of the CH2OO + H2O reaction. The calculated results also show that, in a clean atmosphere, the CH2OO + (H2O)n (n = 1-2) reaction competes well with the CH2OO + SO2 reaction at 298 K when the concentrations of (H2O)n (n = 1-2) range from 20% relative humidity (RH) to 100% RH, and SO2 is 2.46 × 1011 molecules per cm3. Meanwhile, when the RH is higher than 40%, it is a new prediction that the CH2OO + (H2O)3 reaction can also compete well with the CH2OO + SO2 reaction at 298 K. Besides, Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulation results show that all the favorable channels of the CH2OO + (H2O)n (n = 1-3) reaction cannot react on a time scale of 100 ps in the NVT simulation. However, the NVE simulation results show that the CH2OO + (H2O)3 reaction can be finished well at 8.5 ps, indicating that the gas phase reaction of CH2OO + (H2O)3 is not negligible in the atmosphere. Overall, the present results have provided a definitive example of how the favorable hydrolysis of important atmospheric species with (H2O)n (n = 1-4) takes place, which will stimulate one to consider the favorable hydrolysis of water and water clusters with other Criegee intermediates and other important atmospheric species.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of CH2OO is not only a dominant sink for the CH2OO intermediate in the atmosphere but also a key process in the formation of aerosols. Herein, the reaction mechanism and kinetics for the hydrolysis of CH2OO catalyzed by the precursors of atmospheric aerosols, including H2SO4, H2SO4···H2O, and (H2SO4)2, have been studied theoretically at the CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVDZ-F12//B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2pd) level. The calculated results show that the three catalysts decrease the energy barrier by over 10.3 kcal·mol-1; at the same time, the product formation of HOCH2OOH is more strongly bonded to the three catalysts than to the reactants CH2OO and H2O, revealing that small clusters of sulfuric acid promote the hydrolysis of CH2OO both kinetically and thermodynamically. Kinetic simulations show that the H2SO4-assisted reaction is more favorable than the H2SO4···H2O- (the pseudo-first-order rate constant being 27.9-11.5 times larger) and (H2SO4)2- (between 2.8 × 104 and 3.4 × 105 times larger) catalyzed reactions. Additionally, due to relatively lower concentration of H2SO4, the hydrolysis of CH2OO with H2SO4 cannot compete with the CH2OO + H2O or (H2O)2 reaction within the temperature range of 280-320 K, since its pseudo-first-order rate ratio is smaller by 4-7 or 6-8 orders of magnitude, respectively. However, the present results provide a good example of how small clusters of sulfuric acid catalyze the hydrolysis of an important atmospheric species.

Abstract
The kinetics of the gas phase reactions of the Criegee intermediate CH2OO with O3 and IO have been studied at 296 K and 300 Torr through simultaneous measurements of CH2OO, the CH2OO precursor (CH2I2), O3, and IO using flash photolysis of CH2I2/O2/O3/N2 mixtures at 248 nm coupled to time-resolved broadband UV absorption spectroscopy. Experiments were performed under pseudo-first-order conditions with respect to O3, with the rate coefficients for reactions of CH2OO with O3 and IO obtained by fitting to the observed decays of CH2OO using a model constrained to the measured concentrations of IO. Fits were performed globally, with the ratio between the initial concentration of O3 and the average concentration of IO varying in the range 30-700, and gave kCH2OO+O3 = (3.6 ± 0.8) × 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and kCH2OO+IO = (7.6 ± 1.4) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 (where the errors are at the 2σ level). The magnitude of kCH2OO+O3 has a significant effect on the steady state concentration of CH2OO in chamber studies. Atmospheric implications of the results are discussed.

Abstract
O3 and alkenes are important reactants in the formation of SOA in the atmosphere. The intermediates and reaction mechanism of ozonation of alkene is an important topic in atmospheric chemistry. In this study, the low-temperature matrix isolation was used to capture the intermediates such as Primary ozonides (POZs), Criegee Intermediates (CIs), and Secondary ozonides (SOZs) generated from ozonation of 2-methyl-1-butene (2M1B) and 2-methyl-2-butene (2M2B). The results have been identified by the vacuum infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculation. Our results show that during the ozonation of asymmetric alkenes, two kinds of CIs and more than two kinds of SOZs were generated due to the different decomposition modes of POZs. The infrared absorption peaks of (CH3)2COO and CH3CH2C(CH3)OO for O-O telescopic vibration was determined to be 889 cm-1 and 913 cm-1, respectively. Using the merged jet method, it was found that a large amount of HCHO was produced during the ozonation of 2M1B, and glyoxal and methylglyoxal were produced in the ozonation of 2M2B. Our findings highlight the importance of asymmetric alkene ozonolysis reactions in producing CIs, further improving the understanding of the generation of CIs from ozonation of alkenes.

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
We present a time-resolved broadband cavity-enhanced UV-absorption spectrometer apparatus that we have constructed and utilized for temperature- and pressure-dependent kinetic measurements of formaldehyde oxide (CH2OO) reactions. We also introduce and utilize a new photolytic precursor, bromoiodomethane (CH2IBr), which photolysis at 213 nm in presence of O2 produces CH2OO. Importantly, this precursor appears to be free from secondary reactions that may regenerate CH2OO in kinetic experiments. The unimolecular decomposition rate coefficient of CH2OO has been measured over wide pressure (5-400 Torr) and temperature (296-600 K) ranges and master equation simulations of the decomposition kinetics have been performed using MESMER program. The MESMER simulations of the experimental data with the calculated zero-point energy corrected transition state energy 85.9 kJ mol-1 for decomposition required no adjustment and returned 〈ΔE〉down = 123.2 × (T/298 K)0.74 cm-1 for temperature-dependent exponential-down model of the collisional energy transfer in He. A very good agreement between results of simulations and experiments is obtained. The results are compared with the previously reported unimolecular decomposition study by Stone et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 24940-24954). Current master equation simulations suggest about 61% decomposition yield for the predominant H2 + CO2 channel, whereas the yields of two other channels, H2O + CO, and HCO + OH, are sensitive on the parameters involved in the simulations. The kinetics of CH2OO reaction with formic acid has also been investigated as function of pressure (5-150 Torr) and temperature (296-458 K). The bimolecular rate coefficient for CH2OO + HCOOH reaction shows a negative temperature dependency, decreasing from (1.0 ± 0.03) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 296 K to (0.47 ± 0.05) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 458 K with an Arrhenius activation energy of -4.9 ± 1.6 kJ mol-1, where statistical uncertainties shown are 2σ. Estimated overall uncertainty in the measured rate coefficients is about ±20%. Current bimolecular rate coefficient at room temperature agrees with the previously reported rate coefficients from the direct kinetic experiments. The reaction is found to be pressure independent over the range between 5 and 150 Torr at 296 K in He.

Abstract
![]()
The phenyl + ethylene (C6H5 + C2H4) reaction network was
explored experimentally and theoretically
to understand the temperature dependence of the reaction kinetics
and product distribution under various temperature and pressure conditions.
The flash photolysis apparatus combining laser absorbance spectroscopy
(LAS) and time-resolved molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) was
used to study reactions on the C8H9 potential
energy surface (PES). In LAS experiments, 505.3 nm laser light selectively
probed C6H5 decay, and we measured the total
C6H5 consumption rate coefficients in the intermediate
temperature region (400–800 K), which connects previous experiments
performed in high-temperature (pyrolysis) and low-temperature (cavity-ring-down
methods) regions. From the quantum chemistry calculations by Tokmakov
and Lin using the G2M(RCC5)//B3LYP method, we constructed a kinetic
model and estimated phenomenological pressure-dependent rate coefficients, k(T, P), with the Arkane
package in the reaction mechanism generator. The MBMS experiments,
performed at 600–800 K and 10–50 Torr, revealed three
major product peaks: m/z = 105 (adducts,
mostly 2-phenylethyl radical, but also 1-phenylethyl radical, ortho-ethyl phenyl radical, and a spiro-fused ring radical),
104 (styrene, co-product with a H atom), and 78 (benzene, co-product
with C2H3 radical). Product branching ratios
were predicted by the model and validated by experiments for the first
time. At 600 K and 10 Torr, the yield ratio of the H-abstraction reaction
(forming benzene + C2H3) is measured to be 1.1%
and the H-loss channel (styrene + H) has a 2.5% yield ratio. The model
predicts 1.0% for H-abstraction and 2.3% for H-loss, which is within
the experimental error bars. The branching ratio and formation of
styrene increase at high temperature due to the favored formally direct
channel (1.0% at 600 K and 10 Torr, 5.8% at 800 K and 10 Torr in the
model prediction) and the faster β-scission reactions of C8H9 isomers. The importance of pressure dependence
in kinetics is verified by the increase in the yield of the stabilized
adduct from radical addition from 80.2% (800 K, 10 Torr) to 88.9%
(800 K, 50 Torr), at the expense of styrene + H. The pressure-dependent
model developed in this work is well validated by the LAS and MBMS
measurements and gives a complete picture of the C6H5 + C2H4 reaction.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the effect of substitution on the stability and reactivity of carbonyl O-oxide Criegee intermediates (CIs). In this regard, we computed a set of more than 50 carbonyl oxides at the CBS-QB3 level of theory and assessed their stability by means of an isodesmic reaction equation defining a carbonyl oxide stabilization energy (COSE). Almost all substituents are stabilizing and amino groups in particular leading to COSE values of almost 60 kcal mol-1. As opposed to π-donors, substituents with a strong σ-electron pull destabilize the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O-O group. Furthermore, we studied how the intrinsic stabilization of the Criegee intermediate is reflected in its C[double bond, length as m-dash]O and O-O bond lengths as well as the partial charges on the individual atoms of the carbonyl oxide moiety. As a potential measure for reactivity, we determined the adiabatic singlet-triplet energy gap of all carbonyl oxides. Amino substituted CIs exhibit high-lying triplet states and have relatively large barriers towards addition of water or the OH radical. However, the ΔES-T cannot serve as a rigorous measure for carbonyl oxide reactivity.

Abstract
Ozonolysis of isoprene, one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the earth's atmosphere, generates the four-carbon unsaturated methacrolein oxide (MACR-oxide) Criegee intermediate. The first laboratory synthesis and direct detection of MACR-oxide is achieved through reaction of photolytically generated, resonance-stabilized iodoalkene radicals with oxygen. MACR-oxide is characterized on its first π* ← π electronic transition using a ground-state depletion method. MACR-oxide exhibits a broad UV-visible spectrum peaked at 380 nm with weak oscillatory structure at long wavelengths ascribed to vibrational resonances. Complementary theory predicts two strong π* ← π transitions arising from extended conjugation across MACR-oxide with overlapping contributions from its four conformers. Electronic promotion to the 11ππ* state agrees well with experiment, and results in nonadiabatic coupling and prompt release of O 1D products observed as anisotropic velocity-map images. This UV-visible detection scheme will enable study of its unimolecular and bimolecular reactions under thermal conditions of relevance to the atmosphere.

Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction of the simplest Criegee intermediate CH2OO with CH3SH was measured with transient IR absorption spectroscopy in a temperature-controlled flow reaction cell, and the bimolecular rate coefficients were measured from 278 to 349 K and at total pressure from 10 to 300 Torr. The measured bimolecular rate coefficient at 298 K and 300 Torr is (1.01 ± 0.17) × 10-12 cm3 s-1. The results exhibit a weak negative temperature dependence: the activation energy Ea ( k = Ae- Ea/ RT) is -1.83 ± 0.05 kcal mol-1, measured at 30 and 100 Torr. Quantum chemistry calculations of the reaction rate coefficient at the QCISD(T)/CBS//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) level (1.6 × 10-12 cm3 s-1 at 298 K; Ea = - 2.80 kcal mol-1) are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The experimental and theoretical results of the reaction of CH2OO with CH3SH are compared to the reactions of CH2OO with methanol and hydrogen sulfide, and the trends in reactivity are discussed. The results of the present work indicate that this reaction has a negligible influence to atmospheric CH2OO or CH3SH.

Abstract
Criegee intermediates have raised much attention in atmospheric chemistry because of their significance in ozonolysis mechanism. The simplest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, and its reactions with acrylic acid including cycloadditions and insertions as main entrance channels have been investigated at CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/6-31G(d,p) level. Temperature- and pressure-dependent kinetics were predicted by solving the time-dependent master equations based on Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory using MESS program, with temperatures from 200 to 500 K and pressures from 0.001 to 1000 atm. Variational transition state theory (VTST) was used for barrierless pathways and conventional transition state theory (CTST) for pathways with distinct barriers. Results indicate that hydroperoxymethyl acrylate is the dominant product under atmospheric conditions. The combination of two reactants will reduce the volatility and makes a possible factor that induces formation of secondary organic aerosols, which suggests CH2OO's entangled role in ever-increasing air pollution.

Abstract
The ν4 fundamental of the simplest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, has been monitored with high-resolution infrared (IR) transient absorption spectroscopy under total pressures of 4-94 Torr. This IR spectrum provides an unambiguous identification of CH2OO and is potentially useful to determine the number density of CH2OO in various laboratory studies. Here we utilized an ultraviolet (UV) and IR coupled spectrometer to measure the UV and IR absorption spectra of CH2OO simultaneously; the absolute IR cross section can then be determined by using a known UV cross section. Due to significant pressure broadening in the studied pressure range, we integrated the IR absorption spectra between 1285.2 and 1286.4 cm-1 (covering the Q branch), and then we converted this integrated absorbance to the absolute integral IR cross section of CH2OO (for the Q branch); its absolute value is (3.7 ± 0.6) × 10-19 cm·molecule-1 or 2.2 ± 0.4 km·mol-1. The whole rotational band (P, Q, and R branches) can be adequately simulated by using the precise spectroscopic parameters from the literature, yielding the absolute integral IR cross section (full ν4 band) to be 19.2 ± 3.5 km·mol-1. For a practical detection of CH2OO, this work also reports the peak cross section as a function of total pressure (4-94 Torr O2). At low pressure (≤4 Torr), where the pressure broadening is insignificant, the absorption cross section of the highest peak is (6.2 ± 0.9) × 10-18 cm2·molecule-1 (at the system line width of 0.004 cm-1 fwhm).

Abstract
Ethylene oxidation initiated by ozone addition (ozonolysis) is carried out in a jet-stirred reactor from 300 to 1000 K to explore the kinetic pathways relevant to low-temperature oxidation. The temperature dependencies of species' mole fractions are quantified using molecular-beam mass spectrometry with electron ionization and single-photon ionization employing tunable synchrotron-generated vacuum-ultraviolet radiation. Upon ozone addition, significant ethylene oxidation is found in the low-temperature regime from 300 to 600 K. Here, we provide new insights into the ethylene ozonolysis reaction network via identification and quantification of previously elusive intermediates by combining experimental photoionization energy scans and ab initio threshold energy calculations for isomer identification. Specifically, the C2H4 + O3 adduct C2H4O3 is identified as a keto-hydroperoxide (hydroperoxy-acetaldehyde, HOOCH2CHO) based on the calculated and experimentally observed ionization energy of 9.80 (±0.05) eV. Quantification using a photoionization cross-section of 5 Mb at 10.5 eV results in 5 ppm at atmospheric conditions, which decreases monotonically with temperature until 550 K. Other hydroperoxide species that contribute in larger amounts to the low-temperature oxidation of C2H4, like H2O2, CH3OOH, and C2H5OOH, are identified and their temperature-dependent mole fractions are reported. The experimental evidence for additional oxygenated species such as methanol, ketene, acetaldehyde, and hydroxy-acetaldehyde suggest multiple active oxidation routes. This experimental investigation closes the gap between ozonolysis at atmospheric and elevated temperature conditions and provides a database for future modeling.

Abstract
Methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR) are important intermediate products in atmospheric degradation of volatile organic compounds, especially of isoprene. This work investigates the reactions of the smallest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, with its co-products from isoprene ozonolysis, MVK and MACR, using multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry (MPIMS), with either tunable synchrotron radiation from the Advanced Light Source or Lyman-α (10.2 eV) radiation for photoionization. CH2OO was produced via pulsed laser photolysis of CH2I2 in the presence of excess O2. Time-resolved measurements of reactant disappearance and of product formation were performed to monitor reaction progress; first order rate coefficients were obtained from exponential fits to the CH2OO decays. The bimolecular reaction rate coefficients at 300 K and 4 Torr are k(CH2OO + MVK) = (5.0 ± 0.4) × 10-13 cm3 s-1 and k(CH2OO + MACR) = (4.4 ± 1.0) × 10-13 cm3 s-1, where the stated ±2σ uncertainties are statistical uncertainties. Adduct formation is observed for both reactions and is attributed to the formation of a secondary ozonides (1,2,4-trioxolanes), supported by master equation calculations of the kinetics and the agreement between measured and calculated adiabatic ionization energies. Kinetics measurements were also performed for a possible bimolecular CH2OO + CO reaction and for the reaction of CH2OO with CF3CHCH2 at 300 K and 4 Torr. For CH2OO + CO, no reaction is observed and an upper limit is determined: k(CH2OO + CO) < 2 × 10-16 cm3 s-1. For CH2OO + CF3CHCH2, an upper limit of k(CH2OO + CF3CHCH2) < 2 × 10-14 cm3 s-1 is obtained.

Abstract
In recent years, predictions of product branching for reactions of consequence to both combustion and atmospheric chemistry have outpaced validating experiments. An apparatus is described that aims to fill this void by combining several well-known experimental techniques into one: flash photolysis for radical generation, multiple-pass laser absorption spectrometry (LAS) for overall kinetics measurements, and time-resolved photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PI TOF-MS) for product branching quantification. The sensitivity of both the LAS and PI TOF-MS detection techniques is shown to be suitable for experiments with initial photolytically generated radical concentrations of ∼1 × 1012 molecules cm-3. As it is fast (μs time resolution) and non-intrusive, LAS is preferred for accurate kinetics (time-dependence) measurements. By contrast, PI TOF-MS is preferred for product quantification because it provides a near-complete picture of the reactor composition in a single mass spectrum. The value of simultaneous LAS and PI TOF-MS detection is demonstrated for the chemically interesting phenyl radical + propene system.

Abstract
Criegee intermediates are very reactive carbonyl oxides that are formed in reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons with ozone (ozonolysis). Recently, Criegee intermediates have gained significant attention since a new preparation method has been reported in 2012, which employs the reaction of iodoalkyl radical with molecular oxygen: for instance, CH2I + O2 → CH2OO + I. This new synthesis route can produce Criegee intermediates with a high number density, which allows direct detection of the Criegee intermediate via various spectroscopic tools, including vacuum UV photoionization mass spectrometry, absorption and action spectroscopy in the UV and IR regions, and microwave spectroscopy. Criegee intermediates have been thought to play important roles in atmospheric chemistry, such as in OH radical formation as well as oxidation of atmospheric gases such as SO2, NO2, volatile organic compounds, organic and inorganic acids, and even water. These reactions are relevant to acid rain and aerosol formation. Kinetics data including rate coefficients, product yields and their temperature and pressure dependences are important for understanding and modeling relevant atmospheric chemistry. In fundamental physical chemistry, Criegee intermediates have unique and interesting features, which have been partially revealed through spectroscopic, kinetic, and dynamic investigations. Although previous review articles have discussed Criegee intermediates, new data and knowledge on Criegee intermediates are still being accumulated. In this tutorial review, we have focused on structure-dependent reactivity of Criegee intermediates and various spectroscopic tools that have been utilized to probe the kinetics of Criegee intermediates.

Abstract
Criegee intermediates (CIs), carbonyl oxides formed in ozonolysis of alkenes, play key roles in the troposphere. The decomposition of CIs can be a significant source of OH to the tropospheric oxidation cycle especially during nighttime and winter months. A variety of model-measurement studies have estimated surface-level stabilized Criegee intermediate (sCI) concentrations on the order of 1 × 104 cm-3 to 1 × 105 cm-3, which makes a non-negligible contribution to the oxidising capacity in the terrestrial boundary layer. The reactions of sCI with the water monomer and the water dimer have been found to be the most important bimolecular reactions to the tropospheric sCI loss rate, at least for the smallest carbonyl oxides; the products from these reactions (e.g. hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide, HMHP) are also of importance to the atmospheric oxidation cycle. The sCI can oxidise SO2 to form SO3, which can go on to form a significant amount of H2SO4 which is a key atmospheric nucleation species and therefore vital to the formation of clouds. The sCI can also react with carboxylic acids, carbonyl compounds, alcohols, peroxy radicals and hydroperoxides, and the products of these reactions are likely to be highly oxygenated species, with low vapour pressures, that can lead to nucleation and SOA formation over terrestrial regions.

Abstract
The reaction of CH2OO, the smallest carbonyl oxide (Criegee intermediate, CI), with several acids was investigated using the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ quantum chemical method, as well as microvariational transition state theory and RRKM master equation theoretical kinetic methodologies. For oxoacids HNO3 and HCOOH, a 1,4-insertion mechanism allows for barrierless reactions with high rate coefficients, in agreement with literature experimental data. This mechanism relies on the presence of a double bond in the α-position to the acidic OH group. We predict that reactions of CI with enols will likewise have high rate coefficients, proceeding through a similar mechanism. The hydracid HCl was found to react through a less favorable 1,2-insertion reaction, leading to lower rate coefficients, again in good agreement with the literature. We conclude that the reaction mechanism is the main indicator for the reaction rate for CH2OO + acid reactions, with acidity only of secondary influence. At room temperature and 1 atm the main product for all reactions was found to be the thermalized hydroperoxide initial adduct, with minor yields of fragmentation products. One of the product channels characterized is a novel reaction path involving intramolecular H-abstraction after a roaming reaction in the OH + product radical complex formed by the dissociation of the hydroperoxide adduct; this channel is the lowest fragmentation route for some of the reactions studied.

INT J CHEM KINET 2017; 49:611-621.

Abstract
Levels of the stabilized Criegee Intermediate (sCI), produced via the ozonolysis of unsaturated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), were estimated at two London urban sites (Marylebone Road and Eltham) and one rural site (Harwell) in the UK over the period of 1998-2012. The steady-state approximation was applied to data obtained from the NETCEN (National Environmental Technology Centre) database, and the levels of annual average sCI were estimated to be in the range of 30-3000 molecules cm-3 for UK sites. A consistent diurnal cycle of sCI concentration is estimated for the UK sites with increasing levels during daylight hours, peaking just after midday. The seasonal pattern of sCI shows higher levels in spring with peaks around May due to the higher levels of O3. The ozone weekend effect resulted in higher sCI in UK urban areas during weekend. The sCI data were modeled using the information provided by the Air Quality Improvement Research Program (AQIRP) and found that the modeled production was five- to six-fold higher than our estimated data, and therefore the estimated sCI concentrations in this study are thought to be lower estimates only. Compared with nighttime, 1.3- to 1.8-fold higher sCI exists under daytime conditions. Using the levels of sCI estimated at Marylebone Road, globally the oxidation rates of NO2 + sCI (22.4 Gg/yr) and SO2 + sCI (37.6 Gg/yr) in urban areas can increase their effect in the troposphere and potentially further alter the oxidizing capacity of the troposphere. Further investigations of modeled sCI show that CH3CHOO (64%) and CH2OO (13%) are dominant among all contributing sCI at the UK sites.
