Abstract
This study investigates the complex interaction between ozone and the autoxidation of 1-hexene over a wide temperature range (300-800 K), overlapping atmospheric and combustion regimes. It is found that atmospheric molecular mechanisms initiate the oxidation of 1-hexene from room temperature up to combustion temperatures, leading to the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules. As temperature rises, the highly oxygenated organic molecules contribute to radical-branching decomposition pathways inducing a high reactivity in the low-temperature combustion region, i.e., from 550 K. Above 650 K, the thermal decomposition of ozone into oxygen atoms becomes the dominant process, and a remarkable enhancement of the conversion is observed due to their diradical nature, counteracting the significant negative temperature coefficient behavior usually observed for 1-hexene. In order to better characterize the formation of heavy oxygenated organic molecules at the lowest temperatures, two analytical performance methods have been combined for the first time: synchrotron-based mass-selected photoelectron spectroscopy and orbitrap chemical ionization mass spectrometry. At the lowest studied temperatures (below 400 K), this analytical work has demonstrated the formation of the ketohydroperoxides usually found during the LTC oxidation of 1-hexene, as well as of molecules containing up to nine O atoms.

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
The decomposition dynamics of vibrationally excited syn-CH3CHOO to form vinoxy + hydroxyl (CH2CHO + OH) radicals or to recombine to form glycolaldehyde (CH2OHCHO) are characterized using statistically significant numbers of molecular dynamics simulations using a full-dimensional neural-network-based potential energy surface at the CASPT2 level of theory. The computed final OH-translational and rotational state distributions agree well with experiments and probe the still unknown O-O bond strength DeOO for which best values from 22 to 25 kcal/mol are found. OH-elimination rates are consistent with experiments and do not vary appreciably with DeOO due to the non-equilibrium nature of the process. In addition to the OH-elimination pathway, OH roaming is observed following O-O scission, which leads to glycolaldehyde formation on the picosecond time scale. Together with recent work involving the methyl-ethyl-substituted Criegee intermediate, we conclude that OH roaming is a general pathway to be included in molecular-level modeling of atmospheric processes. This work demonstrates that atomistic simulations with machine-learned energy functions provide a viable route for exploring the chemistry and reaction dynamics of atmospheric reactions.

Abstract
Alkene ozonolysis generates transient carbonyl oxide species, known as Criegee intermediates, which are a significant nonphotolytic source of OH radicals in the troposphere. This study demonstrates that unimolecular decay of syn-methyl-substituted Criegee intermediates proceeds via 1,4 H atom transfer to vinyl hydroperoxides, resulting in OH fission to O-O products or, alternatively, OH roaming to hydroxycarbonyl products. Newly generated Criegee intermediates are shown to yield hydroxycarbonyls with sufficient internal excitation to dissociate via C-C fission to acyl and hydroxymethyl (CH2OH) radicals. The stabilized Criegee intermediates and unimolecular products are rapidly cooled in a pulsed supersonic expansion for photoionization detection with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. CH2OH products are identified by 2 + 1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization via the 3pz Rydberg state upon unimolecular decay of CH3CHOO, (CH3)2COO, (CH3)(CH3CH2)COO, and (CH3)(CH2═CH)COO (methyl vinyl ketone oxide). The stabilized Criegee intermediates are separately detected using 10.5 eV photoionization. This study provides the first experimental evidence of roaming in the unimolecular decay of isoprene-derived methyl vinyl ketone oxide and extends earlier studies that reported stabilized hydroxycarbonyl products.

Abstract
The global importance of abiotic oceanic production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) still presents a source of high uncertainties related to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. A better understanding of the photochemistry occurring at the ocean-atmosphere interface is particularly important in that regard, as it covers >70% of the Earth's surface. In this work, we focused on the photochemical VOCs production at the air-water interface containing organic material from authentic culture of marine diatom Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus. Abiotic VOCs production upon irradiation of material originating from total phytoplankton culture as well as the fraction containing only dissolved material was monitored by means of PTR-ToF-MS. Furthermore, isolated dissolved lipid fraction was investigated after its deposition at the air-water interface. All samples acted as a source of VOCs, producing saturated oxygenated compounds such as aldehydes and ketones, as well as unsaturated and functionalized compounds. Additionally, a significant increase in surfactant activity following irradiation experiments observed for all samples implied biogenic material photo-transformation at the air-water interface. The highest VOCs flux normalized per gram of carbon originated from lipid material, and the produced VOCs were introduced into an atmospheric simulation chamber, where particle formation was observed after its gas-phase ozonolysis. This work clearly demonstrates abiotic production of VOCs from phytoplankton derived organic material upon irradiation, facilitated by its presence at the air/water interface, with significant potential for affecting the global climate as a precursor of particle formation.
