Virtual Special Issue: New Advances in Organic Aerosol Chemistry

Vibrational spectroscopy and dissociation dynamics of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19] Such compounds are implicated in the formation of secondary organic aerosols, which affect radiative forcing in the atmosphere and impact public health. [20][21][22] In contrast, reaction with HO 2 represents a minor sink for RO 2 radicals formed during low temperature combustion (such as in modern-day vehicle engines). [23][24][25][26] Under these conditions, the higher temperatures and pressures usually promote intramolecular HAT to form cQOOH radicals which play a vital role in fuel autoignition.…”
