Henry's Law Constants of Some β-, γ-, and δ-Hydroxy Alkyl Nitrates of Atmospheric InterestClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract
Organic nitrates form via the photodegradation of hydrocarbons in the troposphere in the presence of NO and NO2. This process competes with the chemical cycle leading to ozone production since it sequesters both nitrogen oxides and organic radicals. Hydroxy nitrates form via the atmospheric reactions of alkanes and alkenes and are thought to be an important nitrogen oxides reservoir. In this study, new synthetic methods to produce β-, γ-, and δ-hydroxy nitrates of atmospheric interest were developed. NMR and IR spectroscopies were used to characterize these compounds. Henry's law coefficients of C4 and C5 hydroxy nitrates at 291 ± 2 K were measured using a dynamic equilibrium system. The solubility decreases with the organic chain length and increases with increasing distance between the nitrooxy and hydroxy groups. Due to their large Henry's law coefficients these species will partition into droplets in the presence of clouds and fogs. Measurements of the OH reaction and photolysis rate coefficients are needed for an accurate assessment of the atmospheric lifetimes of these compounds.
