Atmospheric ozone—olefin reactions

Hiromi Niki Paul D. Maker Carleton M. Savage Larry P. Breitenbach Ford Motor Company Research Staff Dearborn, Mich. 48121 Among various classes of organic compounds present in the troposphere, the olefins are unique in exhibiting significant reactivity toward ozone (O3) as well as toward the hydroxyl ( H O ) radical. Numerous potentially important roles of the 0 3 -olefin reac­ tions have been recognized for some time. Tn brief, these reactions can provide mutual sinks for both O3 and the olefins and concomitantly serve as sources for partially oxidized com­ pounds, e.g., C O , aldehydes, ketones, and organic acids. Some of the inter­ mediates formed in the 03-olefin re­ actions can also lead to HO-radical chain reactions, regenerate O3 by ox­ idizing N O to NO2, and convert SO2 to sulfate aerosols. Existing theoretical and experimental bases for these re­ action mechanisms have been reviewed recently by Herron and his co-workers ( 5 ) . A general scheme for the 0 3 olefin reactions, which emerged over the years, can be represented by reac­ tion 1 followed by reactions 2a-2d. 312A

General scheme for 03-olefin reactions In memoriam: Bernard Weinstock This article is based largely on ma­ terial presented at the Atmospheric Chemistry Symposium, held at the 1981 Fall National American Chemical Society Meeting in New York and or­ ganized by the late Bernard Weinstock. (It also contains additional updated information.) For that meeting, Wein­ stock had suggested that Hiromi Niki address unanswered questions con­ cerning the mechanism of gas-phase reactions that are important in the troposphere. Comprehensive assessments of chemical kinetics data needs for modeling purposes are made from time to time by various groups ( 1, 2). This article is therefore intended pri­ marily to illustrate the current status of knowledge and to point out as-yet un­ answered questions raised by ongoing Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies of the reactions between ozone (0 3 ) and several different types of olefins, such as simple mono-, di-, chloro-, and cyclic olefins.

Notably, the carbon balance is seen to be extremely poor, and the residual spectrum in Figure 1 Ob represents the missing products. In addition to the conspicuous C = 0 stretch band cen­ tered at 1747 cm - 1 , this spectrum ex­ hibits the aldehydic C—Η stretch bands at 2719 and 2815 cm - 1 , but it does not correspond to a straightchain monoaldehyde of the form C„H 2n CHO (n < 4). Also, there is at least one Ο—Η stretch band in the region of 3600 c m - ' . It is not certain whether all of these bands pertain to one major species or to a variety of secondary products in­ cluding aerosols. In fact, the carboncontaining products in reaction 18 are likely to be free radical species that must undergo subsequent reactions to yield stable products. Additional mechanistic complications can arise from the fact that the formation of the Criegee intermediate in reaction 17 is not accompanied by a stable aldehydic product. Thus, the bimolecular reac­ tions involving the Criegee interme­ diate in this case may be somewhat different from those of the straight-
