Isoprene carries approximately half of the flux of non-methane volatile organic carbon
emitted to the atmosphere by the biosphere. Accurate representation of its oxidation rate and …

The chemistry of the atmosphere encompasses a vast number of reactions acting on a
plethora of intermediates. These reactions, occurring sequentially and in parallel, give rise to …

Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. Their
condensable oxidation products can form secondary organic aerosol, a significant and …

We present a hypothesis that autoxidation (inter-and intramolecular hydrogen abstraction by
peroxy radicals) plays an important role in the oxidation of organic compounds in the …

The prompt formation of highly oxidized organic compounds in the ozonolysis of
cyclohexene (C6H10) was investigated by means of laboratory experiments together with …

The Leuven isoprene mechanism, proposed earlier to aid in rationalizing the unexpectedly
high hydroxyl radical (OH) concentrations in isoprene-rich, low-nitric-oxide (NO) regions …

We propose, and quantify from first principles, two novel HOx-regenerating unimolecular
reactions in isoprene oxidation, which are estimated to yield in pristine tropical forest …

Chemical kinetics is central in much of tropospheric chemistry and in modeling tropospheric
chemical processes. Chemical reaction rate coefficients and product yields have traditionally …

The selective oxo-functionalization of hydrocarbons under mild conditions with molecular
oxygen as the terminal oxidant continues to be a hot topic in organic synthesis and industrial …

We have calculated the thermochemistry and rate coefficients for stable molecules and
reactions in the title reaction families using CBS-QB3 and B3LYP/CBSB7 methods. The …
