Direct observation of the particle-phase bicyclic products from OH-initiated oxidation of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene under NOx-free conditions
Abstract The OH initiated oxidation of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (1,3,5-TMB) under NOx-free conditions has been investigated by using a home-made vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization aerosol mass spectrometer complemented by high-level theoretical computations. The chemical composition of the nascent particles from the oxidation reaction is measured on-line and the high mass O2-bridged bicyclic compounds in the particle phase are directly observed and determined, with the aid of the deuterated 1,3,5-TMB experiments to confirm the species’ assignment. To illuminate the formation of the O2-bridged bicyclic compounds, the potential energy surfaces of the reaction of the bicyclic peroxy radical (BPR) with the hydroperoxy radical (HO2), and of the self-reaction of the BPR radical, have been theoretically calculated and then their reaction mechanisms are discussed in detail. This study provides direct evidence to support the essential role of the O2-bridged bicyclic compounds in the particle formation from the OH initiated oxidation of 1,3,5-TMB.
Highlights OH-initiated oxidation of 1,3,5-TMB studied with photoionization mass spectrometry. The O2-bridged bicyclic products directly observed in the particle phase. Deuterated experiments to confirm the products' assignment in the mass spectra. Theoretical calculations to illuminate reaction mechanisms of the BPR radical.
