Abstract
The gas-phase reaction between trans-2-hexenal (T2H) and chlorine atoms (Cl) was studied using three complementary experimental setups at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. In this work, we studied the rate constant for the titled oxidation reaction as well as the formation of the gas-phase products and secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). The rate constant of the T2H + Cl reaction was determined using the relative method in a simulation chamber using proton-transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) to monitor the loss of T2H and the reference compound. An average reaction rate constant of (3.17 ± 0.72) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 was obtained. From this, the atmospheric lifetime of T2H due to Cl reaction was estimated to be 9 h for coastal regions. HCl, CO, and butanal were identified as primary products using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The molar yield of butanal was (6.4 ± 0.3)%. Formic acid was identified as a secondary product by FTIR. In addition, butanal, 2-chlorohexenal, and 2-hexenoic acid were identified as products by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry but not quantified. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on the observed products. SOA formation was observed by using a fast mobility particle sizer spectrometer. The measured SOA yields reached maximum values of about 38% at high particle mass concentrations. This work exhibits for the first time that T2H can be a source of SOA in coastal atmospheres, where Cl concentrations can be high at dawn, or in industrial areas, such as ceramic industries, where Cl precursors may be present.

Abstract
The gas-phase reaction of trans-2-pentenal (T2P) with Cl atoms was studied at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. A rate coefficient of (2.56 ± 0.83) × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 was obtained using the relative rate method and isoprene, cyclohexane and ethanol as reference compounds. The kinetic study was carried out using a 300-L Teflon bag simulation chamber (IMT Lille Douai-France) and a 16-L Pyrex cell (UCLM-Ciudad Real-Spain), both coupled to the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technique. Gas-phase products and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation were studied at UCLM using a 16-L Pyrex cell and a 264-L quartz simulation chamber coupled to the FTIR and gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. HCl, CO, and propanal were identified as products formed from the studied reaction and quantified by FTIR, the molar yield of the latter being (5.2 ± 0.2)%. Formic acid was identified as a secondary product and was quantified by FTIR with a yield of (6.2 ± 0.4)%. In addition, 2-chlorobutanal and 2-pentenoic acid were identified, but not quantified, by GC-MS as products. The SOA formation was investigated using a fast mobility particle sizer spectrometer. The observed SOA yields reached maximum values of around 7% at high particle mass concentrations. This work provides the first study of the formation of gaseous and particulate products for the reaction of Cl with T2P. A reaction mechanism is suggested to explain the formation of the observed gaseous products. The results are discussed in terms of structure-reactivity relationship, and the atmospheric implications derived from this study are commented as well.
