Abstract
We report the first direct kinetic measurements of a cyclic stabilized Criegee Intermediate. We have measured the unimolecular reaction rate coefficient of cyclohexanone oxide (c-(CH2)5COO) in the temperature 213-296 K and pressure 7-50 Torr ranges using absorption spectrometry. The c-(CH2)5COO was produced by the photolysis of c-(CH2)5CIBr at 213 nm in the presence of O2. We compare the measured fast c-(CH2)5COO unimolecular rate coefficient, 1998 ± 147 s-1 at 296 K, with the literature calculations for the structurally similar E-nopinone oxide formed in β-pinene ozonolysis. The kuni(c-(CH2)5COO)/kuni(E-nopinone oxide) ratio calculated using transition-state theory and density functional theory agrees well with this comparison. We have also measured the bimolecular rate coefficient of the reaction between c-(CH2)5COO and trifluoroacetic acid at 253 K and 10 Torr and obtained the value (8.7 ± 1.0) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. This very large value agrees with previous kinetic measurements for reactions between stabilized Criegee intermediates and halogenated organic acids.

Abstract
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is ubiquitous in the atmosphere and plays a pivotal role in climate, air quality, and health. The production of low-volatility dimeric compounds through accretion reactions is a key aspect of SOA formation. However, despite extensive study, the structures and thus the formation mechanisms of dimers in SOA remain largely uncharacterized. In this work, we elucidate the structures of several major dimer esters in SOA from ozonolysis of α-pinene and β-pinene-substantial global SOA sources-through independent synthesis of authentic standards. We show that these dimer esters are formed in the particle phase and propose a mechanism of nucleophilic addition of alcohols to a cyclic acylperoxyhemiacetal. This chemistry likely represents a general pathway to dimeric compounds in ambient SOA.

Abstract
Organic acids are key species in determining the radiative properties of the atmosphere due to their contribution to particle formation. Reported discrepancies between field measurements and modelling suggest significant missing sources. Herein, we present a mechanistic investigation on the gas-phase ozonolysis of ethyl vinyl ketone (EVK, 1-penten-3-one), which we chose as a model compound for α,β-unsaturated ketones. Experiments were performed in a 1080 L quartz-glass reaction chamber (QUAREC) at 990 ± 15 mbar and 298 ± 2 K (r. h. ≪ 0.1%) and analysed via long-path FTIR spectrometry and PTR-ToF-MS. The experiments were performed in the presence of an excess of CO to suppress the chemistry of OH radicals. For a comprehensive picture, in selected experiments, SO2 was also added to the reaction system to scavenge the stabilized Criegee intermediates (sCIs) and to investigate their formation yield. Combining the results of both set-ups allowed us to quantify 2-oxobutanal, for which we report vapour-phase FTIR spectra. In addition, we introduce the first-ever infrared spectra of perpropionic acid, which was also positively identified in the EVK + O3 system. A detailed analysis of the experimental findings allowed us to link the identified reaction products (acetaldehyde, ethyl hydroperoxide, and perpropionic acid) to known bimolecular reactions of RO2 radicals. Thereby, it is shown that the EVK + O3 reaction yields formic acid, HC(O)OH, and propionic acid, C2H5C(O)OH, and their formation is not covered by mechanisms reported in the literature. Three different pathways accounting for their formation from chemically activated CIs are proposed and possible implications for the ozonolysis of α,β-unsaturated ketones in the atmosphere are discussed.

Abstract
Computational and atmospheric chemistry are two important branches of contemporary chemistry. With the present topical nature of climate change and global warming, it is more crucial than ever that students are aware of and exposed to atmospheric chemistry, with an emphasis on how modeling may aid in understanding how atmospherically relevant chemical compounds interact with incoming solar radiation. Nonetheless, computational and atmospheric chemistry are under-represented in most undergraduate chemistry curricula. In this manuscript, we describe a simple and efficient method for simulating the electronic absorption spectral profiles of atmospherically relevant molecules that may be utilized in an undergraduate computer laboratory. The laboratory results give students hands-on experience in computational and atmospheric chemistry, as well as electronic absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Major atmospheric oxidants (OH, O3 and NO3) dominate the atmospheric oxidation capacity, while H2SO4 is considered as a main driver for new particle formation. Although numerous studies have investigated the long-term trend of ozone in Europe, the trends of OH, NO3 and H2SO4 at specific sites are to a large extent unknown. The one-dimensional model SOSAA has been applied in several studies at the SMEAR II station and has been validated by measurements in several projects. Here, we applied the SOSAA model for the years 2007-2018 to simulate the atmospheric chemical components, especially the atmospheric oxidants OH and NO3, as well as H2SO4 at SMEAR II. The simulations were evaluated with observations from several shorter and longer campaigns at SMEAR II. Our results show that daily OH increased by 2.39% per year and NO3 decreased by 3.41% per year, with different trends of these oxidants during day and night. On the contrary, daytime sulfuric acid concentrations decreased by 2.78% per year, which correlated with the observed decreasing concentration of newly formed particles in the size range of 3-25 nm with 1.4% per year at SMEAR II during the years 1997-2012. Additionally, we compared our simulated OH, NO3 and H2SO4 concentrations with proxies, which are commonly applied in case a limited number of parameters are measured and no detailed model simulations are available.

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
Liquid chromatography/negative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry [LC/(-)ESI-MS] is routinely employed to characterize the identity and abundance of molecular products in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) derived from monoterpene oxidation. Due to a lack of authentic standards, however, commercial terpenoic acids (e.g., cis-pinonic acid) are typically used as surrogates to quantify both monomeric and dimeric SOA constituents. Here, we synthesize a series of enantiopure, pinene-derived carboxylic acid and dimer ester homologues. We find that the (-)ESI efficiencies of the dimer esters are 19-36 times higher than that of cis-pinonic acid, demonstrating that the mass contribution of dimers to monoterpene SOA has been significantly overestimated in past studies. Using the measured (-)ESI efficiencies of the carboxylic acids and dimer esters as more representative surrogates, we determine that molecular products measureable by LC/(-)ESI-MS account for only 21.8 ± 2.6% and 18.9 ± 3.2% of the mass of SOA formed from ozonolysis of α-pinene and β-pinene, respectively. The 28-36 identified monomers (C7-10H10-18O3-6) constitute 15.6-20.5% of total SOA mass, whereas only 1.3-3.3% of the SOA mass is attributable to the 46-62 identified dimers (C15-19H24-32O4-11). The distribution of identified α-pinene and β-pinene SOA molecular products is examined as a function of carbon number (nC), average carbon oxidation state (OS¯C), and volatility (C*). The observed order-of-magnitude difference in (-)ESI efficiency between monomers and dimers is expected to be broadly applicable to other biogenic and anthropogenic SOA systems analyzed via (-) or (+) LC/ESI-MS under various LC conditions, and demonstrates that the use of unrepresentative surrogates can lead to substantial systematic errors in quantitative LC/ESI-MS analyses of SOA.

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 oxidation of biogenically emitted volatile organic compounds (BVOC) plays an important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in the atmosphere. Peroxy radicals (RO2) are central intermediates in the BVOC oxidation process. Under clean (low-NO x) conditions, the main bimolecular sink reactions for RO2 are with the hydroperoxy radical (HO2) and with other RO2 radicals. Especially for small RO2, the RO2 + HO2 reaction mainly leads to closed-shell hydroperoxide products. However, there exist other known RO2 + HO2 and RO2 + RO2 reaction channels that can recycle radicals and oxidants in the atmosphere, potentially leading to lower-volatility products and enhancing SOA formation. In this work, we present a thermodynamic overview of two such reactions: (a) RO2 + HO2 → RO + OH + O2 and (b) R'O2 + RO2 → R'O + RO + O2 for selected monoterpene + oxidant derived peroxy radicals. The monoterpenes considered are α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, trans-β-ocimene, and Δ3-carene. The oxidants considered are the hydroxyl radical (OH), the nitrate radical (NO3), and ozone (O3). The reaction Gibbs energies were calculated at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/def2-QZVPP//ωB97X-D/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. All reactions studied here were found to be exergonic in terms of Gibbs energy. On the basis of a comparison with previous mechanistic studies, we predict that reaction a and reaction b are likely to be most important for first-generation peroxy radicals from O3 oxidation (especially for β-pinene), while being less so for most first-generation peroxy radicals from OH and NO3 oxidation. This is because both reactions are comparatively more exergonic for the O3 oxidized systems than their OH and NO3 oxidized counterparts. Our results indicate that bimolecular reactions of certain complex RO2 may contribute to an increase in radical and oxidant recycling under high HO2 conditions in the atmosphere, which can potentially enhance SOA formation.

Synergistic O 3 + OH oxidation pathway to extremely low-volatility dimers revealed in β-pinene secondary organic aerosol. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2018; 115:8301-8306.

Abstract
Dimeric compounds contribute significantly to the formation and growth of atmospheric secondary organic aerosol (SOA) derived from monoterpene oxidation. However, the mechanisms of dimer production, in particular the relevance of gas- vs. particle-phase chemistry, remain unclear. Here, through a combination of mass spectrometric, chromatographic, and synthetic techniques, we identify a suite of dimeric compounds (C15-19H24-32O5-11) formed from concerted O3 and OH oxidation of β-pinene (i.e., accretion of O3- and OH-derived products/intermediates). These dimers account for an appreciable fraction (5.9-25.4%) of the β-pinene SOA mass and are designated as extremely low-volatility organic compounds. Certain dimers, characterized as covalent dimer esters, are conclusively shown to form through heterogeneous chemistry, while evidence of dimer production via gas-phase reactions is also presented. The formation of dimers through synergistic O3 + OH oxidation represents a potentially significant, heretofore-unidentified source of low-volatility monoterpene SOA. This reactivity also suggests that the current treatment of SOA formation as a sum of products originating from the isolated oxidation of individual precursors fails to accurately reflect the complexity of oxidation pathways at play in the real atmosphere. Accounting for the role of synergistic oxidation in ambient SOA formation could help to resolve the discrepancy between the measured atmospheric burden of SOA and that predicted by regional air quality and global climate models.

Abstract
Monoterpenes are prevalent organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere, via biogenic activities in various types of plants. Monoterpenes undergo atmospheric decomposition reactions derived by the potent atmospheric oxidizing agents, OH, O3, and NOx. This review critically surveys literature pertinent to the atmospheric removal of monoterpenes by ozone. In general, the ozonolysis reactions of monoterpenes occur through the so-called Criegee mechanism. These classes of reactions generate a wide array of chemical organic and inorganic low vapor pressure (LVP) species. Carbonyl oxides, commonly known as Criegee intermediates (CIs), are the main intermediates from the gas-phase ozonolysis reaction. Herein, we present mechanistic pathways, reactions rate constants, product profiles, thermodynamic, and kinetic results dictating the ozonolysis reactions of selected monoterpenes (namely carene, camphene, limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, and sabinene). Furthermore, the unimolecular (vinyl hydroperoxide and ester channels) and bimolecular reactions (cycloaddition, insertion, and radical recombination) of the resulting CIs are fully discussed. The orientations and conformations of the resulting primary ozonides (POZs) and CIs of monoterpenes are classified to reveal their plausible effects on reported thermokinetic parameters.

Abstract
A computational study of the formation of secondary ozonide (SOZ) from the Criegee intermediates (CIs) of sabinene, including hydration reactions with H2O and 2H2O, was performed. All of the geometries were optimized at the B3LYP and M06-2X with several basis sets. Further single-point energy calculation at the CCSD(T) was performed. Two major pathways of SOZ formation suggest that it is mainly formed from the sabinene CI and formaldehyde rather than sabina ketone and formaldehyde-oxide. However, in both pathways, the activation energies are within a range of ±5 kJ mol-1. Furthermore, the hydration reactions of the anti-CI with H2O and 2H2O showed that the role of the second water molecule is a mediator (catalyst) in this reaction. The dimer hydration reaction has lower activation energies than the monomer by 60 and 69 kJ mol-1, at the M06-2X/6-31G(d) and CCSD(T)+CF levels of the theory, respectively. A novel water-mediated vinyl hydroperoxide (VHP) channel from both the monomer and dimer has been investigated. The results indicate that the direct nonmediated VHP formation and dissociation is interestingly more possible than the water-mediated VHP. The density functional theory calculations show that the monomer is faster than the dimer by roughly 22 kJ mol-1. Further, the infrared spectrum of sabina ketone was calculated at B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p); the calculated carbonyl stretching of 1727 cm-1 is in agreement with the experimental range of 1700-1800 cm-1.

Abstract
Partially oxidized intermediates play a central role in combustion and atmospheric chemistry. In this perspective, we focus on the chemical kinetics of alkoxy radicals, peroxy radicals, and Criegee intermediates, which are key species in both combustion and atmospheric environments. These reactive intermediates feature a broad spectrum of chemical diversity. Their reactivity is central to our understanding of how volatile organic compounds are degraded in the atmosphere and converted into secondary organic aerosol. Moreover, they sensitively determine ignition timing in internal combustion engines. The intention of this perspective article is to provide the reader with information about the general mechanisms of reactions initiated by addition of atomic and molecular oxygen to alkyl radicals and ozone to alkenes. We will focus on critical branching points in the subsequent reaction mechanisms and discuss them from a consistent point of view. As a first example of our integrated approach, we will show how experiment, theory, and kinetic modeling have been successfully combined in the first infrared detection of Criegee intermediates during the gas phase ozonolysis. As a second example, we will examine the ignition timing of n-heptane/air mixtures at low and intermediate temperatures. Here, we present a reduced, fuel size independent kinetic model of the complex chemistry initiated by peroxy radicals that has been successfully applied to simulate standard n-heptane combustion experiments.

Abstract
The rotational spectra of the two bicyclic molecules β-pinene and its oxidation product nopinone were investigated in the gas phase, using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy coupled to a supersonic jet, in the 2-20 GHz range. The parent species and all heavy atom isotopologues have been observed in their natural abundance. The spectroscopic parameters of the ground states were determined from a Watson's Hamiltonian in the A reduction. The rotational constants were used together with geometrical parameters obtained from ab initio calculations to determine the r0 and r structures of the skeletons, without any structural assumption in the fit concerning the heavy atoms. Comparison with solid phase and other bicyclic monoterpenes unveiled an unprecedented complete set of geometrical parameters for the rigid cages. The structures of β-pinene and nopinone are very close, except for the substituents at C2. In the gas phase C2 is a centre of planarity in both molecules.

Abstract
Sabinene is one of the monoterpenes of biogenic origin in the atmosphere. Ozonolysis is one of the important oxidation removal reactions for sabinene in the atmosphere during the daytime, leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosols. In this study, we investigate the mechanism of gas-phase ozonolysis of sabinene using quantum chemistry and kinetic calculations. The reaction starts with the formation of four primary ozonides (POZs), which decompose to primary product channels CH2OO + sabinaketone and CH2O + two Criegee intermediates (CI-1 and CI-2) with branching ratios of 17%, 45%, and 38%, respectively, at 298 K and 760 Torr. Calculations showed that the stabilized CI-1 would undergo a rapid intramolecular H-shift to a vinyl hydroperoxide (VHP) at a rate of ∼2700 s-1 followed by rapid decomposition to an OH radical and a vinoxy-type radical (VTR) and CI-2 would slowly isomerize to dioxirane at a rate of 0.97 s-1. In the atmosphere, CI-2 would instead react with water and the water dimer, forming α-hydroxyalkyl hydroperoxides (αHAHPs), which would decompose to sabinaketone and H2O2via heterogeneous processes. The reaction of CI-2 with SO2 would also be significant in a dry and cold atmosphere. The yield of sabinaketone of 47%, from primary POZ decomposition and secondary reactions of αHAHPs, agrees with the previously measured values of 35-50%. The OH radical, formed from CI-1, could reach 44%, agreeing with the previously reported value of (33 ± 6)%. Further reaction of the VTR radical would form highly-oxidized multifunctional products containing carboxylic and/or carbonyl groups which might contribute substantially to SOA formation.

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.

Abstract
Reaction with ozone is a major atmospheric sink for α-phellandrene, a monoterpene found in both indoor and outdoor environments, however experimental literature concerning the reaction is scarce. In this study, high-level G4(MP2) quantum chemical calculations are used to theoretically characterise the reaction of ozone with both double bonds in α-phellandrene for the first time. Results show that addition of ozone to the least substituted double bond in the conjugated system is preferred. Following addition, thermal and chemically activated unimolecular reactions, including the so-called hydroperoxide and ester or 'hot' acid channels, and internal cyclisation reactions, are characterised to major first generation products. Conjugation present in α-phellandrene allows two favourable Criegee intermediate reaction pathways to proceed that have not previously been considered in the literature; namely a 1,6-allyl resonance stabilised hydrogen shift and intramolecular dioxirane isomerisation to an epoxide. These channels are expected to play an important role alongside conventional routes in the ozonolysis of a-phellandrene. Computational characterisation of the potential energy surface thus provides insight into this previously unstudied system, and will aid future mechanism development and experimental interpretation involving α-phellandrene and structurally similar species, to which the results are expected to extend.

Abstract
COSMO-RS (conductor-like screening model for real solvents) and three different group-contribution methods were used to compute saturation (subcooled) liquid vapor pressures for 16 possible products of ozone-initiated α-pinene autoxidation, with elemental compositions C10H16O4-10 and C20H30O10-12. The saturation vapor pressures predicted by the different methods varied widely. COSMO-RS predicted relatively high saturation vapor pressures values in the range of 10(-6) to 10(-10) bar for the C10H16O4-10 "monomers", and 10(-11) to 10(-16) bar for the C20H30O10-12 "dimers". The group-contribution methods predicted significantly (up to 8 order of magnitude) lower saturation vapor pressures for most of the more highly oxidized monomers. For the dimers, the COSMO-RS predictions were within the (wide) range spanned by the three group-contribution methods. The main reason for the discrepancies between the methods is likely that the group-contribution methods do not contain the necessary parameters to accurately treat autoxidation products containing multiple hydroperoxide, peroxy acid or peroxide functional groups, which form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with each other. While the COSMO-RS saturation vapor pressures for these systems may be overestimated, the results strongly indicate that despite their high O:C ratios, the volatilities of the autoxidation products of α-pinene (and possibly other atmospherically relevant alkenes) are not necessarily extremely low. In other words, while autoxidation products are able to adsorb onto aerosol particles, their evaporation back into the gas phase cannot be assumed to be negligible, especially from the smallest nanometer-scale particles. Their observed effective contribution to aerosol particle growth may therefore involve rapid heterogeneous reactions (reactive uptake) rather than effectively irreversible physical absorption.

Abstract
We use a large laboratory, modeling, and field dataset to investigate the isoprene + O3 reaction, with the goal of better understanding the fates of the C1 and C4 Criegee intermediates in the atmosphere. Although ozonolysis can produce several distinct Criegee intermediates, the C1 stabilized Criegee (CH2OO, 61 ± 9%) is the only one observed to react bimolecularly. We suggest that the C4 Criegees have a low stabilization fraction and propose pathways for their decomposition. Both prompt and non-prompt reactions are important in the production of OH (28% ± 5%) and formaldehyde (81% ± 16%). The yields of unimolecular products (OH, formaldehyde, methacrolein (42 ± 6%) and methyl vinyl ketone (18 ± 6%)) are fairly insensitive to water, i.e., changes in yields in response to water vapor (≤4% absolute) are within the error of the analysis. We propose a comprehensive reaction mechanism that can be incorporated into atmospheric models, which reproduces laboratory data over a wide range of relative humidities. The mechanism proposes that CH2OO + H2O (k(H2O)∼ 1 × 10(-15) cm(3) molec(-1) s(-1)) yields 73% hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HMHP), 6% formaldehyde + H2O2, and 21% formic acid + H2O; and CH2OO + (H2O)2 (k(H2O)2∼ 1 × 10(-12) cm(3) molec(-1) s(-1)) yields 40% HMHP, 6% formaldehyde + H2O2, and 54% formic acid + H2O. Competitive rate determinations (kSO2/k(H2O)n=1,2∼ 2.2 (±0.3) × 10(4)) and field observations suggest that water vapor is a sink for greater than 98% of CH2OO in a Southeastern US forest, even during pollution episodes ([SO2] ∼ 10 ppb). The importance of the CH2OO + (H2O)n reaction is demonstrated by high HMHP mixing ratios observed over the forest canopy. We find that CH2OO does not substantially affect the lifetime of SO2 or HCOOH in the Southeast US, e.g., CH2OO + SO2 reaction is a minor contribution (<6%) to sulfate formation. Extrapolating, these results imply that sulfate production by stabilized Criegees is likely unimportant in regions dominated by the reactivity of ozone with isoprene. In contrast, hydroperoxide, organic acid, and formaldehyde formation from isoprene ozonolysis in those areas may be significant.

Abstract
The O3-initiated oxidation reactions of α-pinene ([1S,5S]-2,6,6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene), β-pinene ([1R,5R]-6,6-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[3.1.1]heptane), camphene ([1R,4S]-2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) and sabinene ([1R,5R]-4-methylene-1-(1-methylethyl)bicycle[3.1.0]hexane), four monoterpenes typically emitted into the atmosphere, were studied at the B3LYP/6-31+G(2d,2p) level of theory. The rate coefficients were calculated on the basis of the variational transition state theory for two kinetic models, in order to investigate the reaction mechanism: first assuming a direct bimolecular reaction and the second, assuming the formation of a prebarrier-complex, which further reacts forming the corresponding molozonide. The barrier heights leading to the formation of exo-conformers of the molozonides of α-pinene and camphene are lower than the barrier heights for the formation of the endo-conformers of these molozonides, whereas the inverse trend is observed for β-pinene and sabinene. The canonical variational rate coefficients are found in reasonable agreement with the experimental data, especially when the prebarrier complexes are considered. Microcanonical variational rate coefficients are also calculated, as a final validation test, being found in an expected agreement with the canonical rate coefficients. The best predictions for the rate coefficients at 298 K, based on the microcanonical variational method, for α-pinene, β-pinene, camphene, and sabine are (in units cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)): 6.92 × 10(-17), 1.06 × 10(-17), 4.61 × 10(-19), and 4.81 × 10(-17), respectively. Our results suggest that the prebarrier complex is an important specie in the ozone addition mechanism and should be taken into account for the proper description of the overall kinetics.

Abstract
In this work, the rate-limiting steps of Δ(3)-carene oxidation by ozone and OH radicals were studied. The thermochemical and kinetic parameters were evaluated using the B3LYP, PBE1PBE and BHandHLYP functionals, coupled cluster methods and the 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The attack on the double bond may occur in different orientations, leading to different oxidation products. The rate coefficients of each step of the reactions were evaluated using conventional canonical transition-state theory and variational canonical transition-state theory whenever necessary. The theoretical rate coefficient for the ozonolysis mechanism, evaluated at the CCSD(T)/6-31G(d,p)//PBE1PBE/6-311++G(d,p) level, was 2.08 × 10(-17) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The coefficient for the oxidation initialised by the OH radical, calculated at the BHandHLYP/6-311++G(d,p) level, was 5.06 × 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). These values are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The importance of these reactions in atmospheric chemistry is discussed.

Abstract
The reaction of Criegee intermediates (CI) with NO and RO(2) radicals is studied for the first time by theoretical methodologies; additionally, the reaction of CI with SO(2) molecules is re-examined. The reaction of CI with NO was found to be slow, with a distinct energy barrier. Their reaction with RO(2) radicals proceeds by the formation of a pre-reactive complex followed by addition of the RO(2) radical on the CI carbon over a submerged barrier, leading to a larger peroxy radical and opening the possibility for oligomer formation in agreement with experiment. The impact of singlet biradicals on the reaction of CI with SO(2) is examined, finding a different reaction mechanism compared to earlier work. For larger CI, the reaction with SO(2) at atmospheric pressures mainly yields thermalized sulfur-bearing secondary ozonides. The fate of the CI in the atmosphere is examined in detail, based on observed concentration of a multitude of coreactants in the atmosphere, and estimated rate coefficients available from literature data. The impact of SCI on tropospheric chemistry is discussed.
