Formation of low-volatility products in reactions of carbonyl oxide criegee intermediates

Caravan, Rebecca L.; Eskola, Arkke J.; Antonov, Ivan O.; Winiberg, Frank A.F.; Rotavera, Brandon; Ramasesha, Krupa R.; Sheps, Leonid S.; Osborn, David L.; Percival, Carl J.; Shallcross, Dudley E.; Taatjes, Craig A.

Direct kinetic and product studies of Criegee Intermediates reveal insertion and addition mechanisms for multiple co-reactant species. Observation of these highly oxygenated low volatility products indicate the potential role of Criegee Intermediate chemistry in molecular weight growth, and subsequently, secondary organic aerosol formation.
