![Page 3: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
REVIEW:
Where they come from:
Biogenic sources the largest – isoprene, terpenes,etc.
IsopreneCH2=CH-C(CH3)=CH2
But also anthropogenic emissions, mostly the types of things we just saw on the previous page (fossil fuel combustion, industrial…)
AlkanesAlkenesAlcohols Etc. Etc. etc.Ethers

REVIEW:
How they are distributed (and how we know - measurements):
T. Karl et al. (ACD), J. Geophys. Res., 112, D18302, 2007.

REVIEW:
What are the impacts?

![Page 7: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SO NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY:
RECALL:
The atmosphere (particularly the troposphere) acts as a low-temperature, slow-burning combustion engine.
Takes all the emissions (reduced compounds) and ‘burns’ (oxidizes) them:
OH HO2
CH4 CO2 + H2O
Isoprene Other by-products, such as O3, particles, acids,
DMS, NH3 nitrates, etc. (2ry POLLUTANTS)
NO NO2
![Page 8: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
THE TROPOSPHERIC “ENGINE”: Now the “Odd Hydrogen” Family: Consider first OH and HO2:
Production: O3 + h O(1D) + O2 O(1D) + H2O OH + OH
Conversion of OH to HO2:
OH + CO (+O2) HO2 + CO2 dominant (when all ‘fuel’ considered)OH + O3 HO2 + O2, usually minor
Conversion of HO2 back to OH:
HO2 + O3 OH + 2 O2 HO2 + NO OH + NO2, (followed by NO2 + h NO + O, O + O2 + M O3 + M,
which generates O3 !!)
Losses of HOx via two processes:
HO2 + HO2 + M HOOH + O2 + M OH + NO2 + M = HNO3 + M

REFER TO THE PEROXY RADICAL AS RO2•
NOTE ALSO: THESE BASIC REACTIONSPROPOGATE RADICALS !!
We will refer to this again from time to time, noting that other pathways DO NOT PROPOGATE

OK, LET’S START WITH STEP #1
– REACTION OF OH WITH HYDROCARBONS (Also applies to NO3, and Cl-atoms)
CAN HAVE TWO KINDS OF REACTIONS –
1)ABSTRACTION:
OH + CH4 •CH3 + H2O
- Occurs when the hydrocarbon is “saturated” (no double bonds)
2)ADDITION:
OH + CH2=CH2 HOCH2-CH2•
![Page 18: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OK, LET’S START WITH STEP #1
– REACTION OF OH WITH HYDROCARBONS (Also applies to NO3, and Cl-atoms)
Go back to our old friend, OH + Methane (CH4)
From Wikipedia
REACTION DOES NOT OCCUR ON EVERY COLLISION!!!
Ea
k = A * exp(-Ea/RT)
A is the pre-exponential factor, and accounts for the geometry limitations.Ea is activation energy.
![Page 19: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
REACTION KINETICS: (follows Brasseur, Orlando and Tyndall, pp. 95-114.) ELEMENTARY REACTIONS (BIMOLECULAR)
k = A * exp(-Ea/RT)
So, Let’s go back to the OH / CH4 reaction.
IF REACTION OCCURRED ON EVERY COLLISION,
k = 2 x 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
Turns out that k = 2.45 x 10-12 * exp(- 3525 cal / RT)
k = 6.3 x 10-15 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K
k = 5.2 x 10-16 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 210 K
Only about 1 in 30000 OH/CH4 collisions results in reaction at 298 K.

THERE ARE OTHER OXIDANTS BESIDES OH:
- One of the them is the “NITRATE RADICAL”, NO3
- Photolyzes rapidly, so only active at nighttime.
- Can abstract, though energetics not as favorable.
As an example,
OH + Isobutane (C4H10) •C(CH3)3 + H2O k = 7.0 10-12 exp(-350/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1
NO3 + Isobutane (C4H10) •C(CH3)3 + H2O k = 3.9 10-12 exp(-3150/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1

SO FAR, We have only dealt with abstraction.
Can also have ‘addition’ reactions, when the hydrocarbon is ‘unsaturated’: (i.e., contains a C=C double bond, alkenes)
Occurs for OH, NO3, Cl-atoms too:
Generally very fast reactions:OH + CH2=CH2 (ethene) HOCH2-CH2•
For OH + ethene, k = 8.1 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
Ethene lifetime 1.5 days
= = = =
Again, more substituted species react even faster.
k(OH + isoprene) = 1.0 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
Isoprene lifetime (1-2) hours
![Page 28: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Generally, when multiple choices, addition will win over abstraction.
CH3CH2-CH=CH-CH(CH3)2
![Page 29: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Generally, when multiple choices, addition will win over abstraction.
CH3CH2-CH=CH-CH(CH3)2
Addition reaction wins, k 6 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
Abstraction reactions, k 3 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1

OZONE CAN ALSO ACT AS AN OXIDANT – Adds to double bonds:
Chemistry is a bit weird, producing something called “Criegee Biradicals”:
O - OO3 + CH2=CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2=O + •CH2-OO•
O
Chemistry of Criegee radicals is complex (and not totally understood):
•CH2-OO• undergoes numerous types of reactions that form CO, CO2, HCOOH
![Page 31: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
THERE ARE METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RATE COEFFICIENTS FOR REACTION OF VARIOUS OXIDANTS WITH HYDROCARBONS
“STRUCTURE-REACTIVITY” RELATIONSHIPS(e.g., Kwok & Atkinson, Atm. Env., 1995)
Consider only OH abstraction today, but they exist for addition reactions and also for other reactants (NO3, Cl, O3)
How does it work?
First:
Assign ‘starting values’ for reaction of OH with a –CH3 group, and –CH2- group, and a –CH< group (298 K):
k(-CH3) = 1.36 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
k(-CH2-) = 9.34 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
k(-CH<) = 19.4 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
![Page 32: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
MODIFY THE INITIAL VALUE ACCORDING TO WHAT IS BONDED TO IT(“Substituent factors”)
CH3 – X k = k(-CH3) * F(X)
Y – CH2 – X k = k(-CH2-) * F(X) * F(Y)
Y – CH – X k = k(-CH<) * F(X) * F(Y) * F(Z)
Z
![Page 33: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CONSIDER PROPANOL:
HO – CH2 – CH2CH3 k = k(CH2) * F(X) * F(Y)
k(-CH2-) = 9.34 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
F(-OH) = 4.0F(-CH2CH3) = 1.23
So, estimated k for reaction at the one particular -CH2- group is:
k = k(-CH2-) * F(X) * F(Y)
= 9.34 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 * (4.0) * (1.23)
= 4.2 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1

No worries, this one is EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY
Take alkyl radical, e.g., CH3-CH2•
And add O2,
CH3-CH2 + O2 + M CH3-CH2O2 + M
Voila, instant peroxy radical !!
Typical k = 7 x 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 [O2] = 5 x 1018 molecule cm-3
So, time scale for the reaction is about 30 ns at Earth’s surface !!!
Nothing else has much of a chance, except in extremely rare circumstances that we will not pursue today.

PEROXY RADICAL CHEMISTRY
MAIN REACTION IS WITH NO, CONVERTS PEROXY TO ALKOXY RADICAL
NO Reaction (MAIN PATHWAY):
RO2 + NO RO + NO2
CH3O2 + NO CH3O + NO2
This reaction propogates radicals.
BUT, ALSO ANOTHER MINOR CHANNEL THAT COMPETES:
RO2 + NO RONO2
CH3O2 + NO CH3ONO2
CH3CH2CH2CH(OO)CH3 + NO CH3CH2CH2CH(ONO2)CH3
The larger and more complex the peroxy radical, typically the higher the nitrate yield (up to about 40% in some cases). NB: This channel is a radical TERMINATION!

SOME GENERALITIES ON ALKOXY RADICALS
1. There is almost always a reaction with O2 to produce HO2 and a carbonyl, time constant about 20 s.
2. There can be competing unimolecular reactions – decompositions and isomerizations.
3. Chemical activation might also be important (if barrier is low enough).
![Page 58: REVIEW: Geoff showed something about the types of compounds: CH 4 CH 3 -CH(CH 3 ) 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814846550346895db55b20/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

OK, Let’s step back a minute and review: We have a set of four reactions that occur for essentially every organic species.
E.g., we saw methane (CH4) get converted to CH2O. Also, pentane to 2-pentanone.
So, what happens to the CH2O, and to the 2-pentanone.
Well, they go through the same processes:
e.g., OH + CH2O HCO + H2O HCO + O2 HO2 + CO

BUT, ONE OTHER THING CAN HAPPEN IN THE GAS-PHASE:
Photolysis !!
Because in general carbonyl compounds (species containing C=O double bonds) absorb near-UV photons !!
From Sasha’s Lecture:
Photolysis frequency (s-1) J = F() d

So, photolysis of CH3CHO to CH3 and HCO occurs at a rate of about 10-5 sec-1 for overhead sun.

AND, ONE OTHER THING CAN HAPPEN : Deposition !!
RECALL: We are converting an emitted hydrocarbon (say pentane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) to oxidized products, CH3CH2CH2C(=O)CH3.
As the process continues, the partially-oxidized products become increasingly SOLUBLE, and also LESS VOLATILE.
So, they are more prone to uptake into clouds, into aqueous aerosols, to deposition to the ground, etc…
Big issue these days:
Formation of secondary organic aerosol !!Species like CH3(CH2)15C(=O)CH3 actually form aerosol !
