    Laboratory observation of oligomers in the aerosol from isoprene/NOₓ photooxidation

    Compounds assigned to be oxidation products of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) have recently been observed in ambient aerosols, suggesting that isoprene might play an important role in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation due to its large global source strength. SOA yields from photooxidation of isoprene and NOₓ in a chamber agree fairly well with previous data. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry showed the formation of high molecular weight compounds over the course of 15-hour experiments. Concurrently, the volatility of the SOA decreased markedly as observed by a tandem differential mobility analyzer. The volume fraction remaining of SOA at 150°C increased steadily from 5 to 25% during the same experiments. These observations are attributed to oligomerization reactions occurring in the aerosol phase. Under dry conditions a lower volatility was observed.

    Secondary organic aerosols from anthropogenic and biogenic precursors
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2005) Baltensperger, Urs; Kalberer, Markus; Dommen, Josef; Paulsen, Dwane; Alfarra, M. Rami; Coe, Hugh; Fisseha, Rebeka; Gascho, Astrid; Gysel, Martin; Nyeki, Stephan; Sax, Mirjam; Steinbacher, Martin; Prévôt, André S.H.; Sjögren, Staffan; Weingartner, Ernest; Zenobi, Renato
    Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of an anthropogenic (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) and a biogenic (α-pinene) precursor was investigated at the new PSI smog chamber. The chemistry of the gas phase was followed by proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry, while the aerosol chemistry was investigated with aerosol mass spectrometry, ion chromatography, laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy, along with volatility and hygroscopicity studies. Evidence for oligomer formation for SOA from both precursors was given by an increasing abundance of compounds with a high molecular weight (up to 1000 Da) and by an increasing thermal stability with increasing aging time. The results were compared to data obtained from ambient aerosol samples, revealing a number of similar features.
