ABSTRACT
10
Pinonaldehyde, which is among the most abundant oxidation products of α-pinene, and
11
dimethylamine were selected to study the formation of N-containing low volatile compounds
12
from aldehyde-amine reactions in the atmosphere. Gas phase reactions took place in a Tedlar
13
bag, which was connected to a mass spectrometer ionization source via a short deactivated fused
14
silica column. In addition to on-line analysis, abundance of gaseous precursors and reaction
15
products were monitored off-line. Condensable products were extracted from the bag’s walls
16
with a suitable solvent and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to chemical ionization
17
high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and by ultra-high-performance
18
liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The
19
reactions carried out resulted in several mid-low vapor pressure nitrogen-containing compounds
20
that are potentially important for the formation of secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere.
21
Further, the presence of brown carbon, confirmed by liquid chromatography-UV-Vis-mass

spectrometry, was observed. Some of the compounds identified in the laboratory study were also
23
observed in aerosol samples collected at SMEAR II station (Hyytiälä, Finland) in August 2015
24
suggesting the importance of aldehyde-amine reactions for the aerosol formation and growth.

INTRODUCTION
26
Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in regional air quality, have adverse health impacts
27
and can affect regional and global climate directly and inderectly.1-3 Primary aerosols are directly
28
emitted in the atmosphere from a variety of sources, while secondary aerosols are formed
29
through atmospheric oxidation and processing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via gas-to-
30
particle partitioning.4 Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) have been identified as important
31
contributors of atmospheric aerosols.5 Despite continuing studies, the effects of aerosols on
32
climate, regional air quality and health are not yet well understood, mainly due to missing
33
knowledge of secondary aerosol precursors, chemical composition and mechanisms of SOA
34
formation which are today the main challenges in the field of atmospheric aerosols. Among the
35
atmospherically relevant compounds, amines have been demonstrated to play an important role
36
in new particle formation (nucleation) events and secondary organic aerosol formation.6-8
37
Amines are emitted to the atmosphere from industry, combustion, biomass burning, animal
38
husbandry and the oceans.6 In addition, soil and vegetation act as their important sources,
39
especially during periods with high biological activity.6 These compounds are ubiquitous in the
40
atmosphere, as e.g. Ge et al.6 have shown by summarizing 154 identified amines in the
41
atmosphere emitted from anthropogenic and biogenic sources. The most abundant amines in the
42
atmosphere are low-molecular weight aliphatic amines such as methylamine (MA),
43
dimethylamine (DMA) and trimethylamine (TMA). Atmospheric removal pathway for amines

44
include oxidation reactions with ozone (O3), hydroxyl (OH) radical or nitrate (NO3) radical9-12
45
and reactions with inorganic acids (nitric or sulfuric acids).6-8,
46
pressures, they can affect the chemistry and lifecycle of atmospheric aerosols, especially due to
47
their unique acid-neutralizing capacity. Many recent studies have highlighted the role of amines
48
in the formation of secondary aerosols and growth (nucleation, secondary organic and inorganic
49
aerosol mixtures) from laboratory experiments8, 12, 14, 15 and field campaigns.16 The nucleation
50
rate of amine/sulfuric acid system can be three orders of magnitudes higher than that of NH3.8
51
The reactions between carbonyl compounds or organic acids and amines may also contribute
52
significantly to nanoparticle growth.17 Recent studies suggest that in the atmosphere carbonyl
53
compounds, such as glyoxal, methylglyoxal, glycoaldehyde or hydroxyacetone form N-
54
containing and oligomeric compounds with small amines in aqueous aerosols.14, 18-21 The impact
55
of these aqueous reactions on secondary organic aerosol formation and brown carbon formation
56
has been recently demonstrated.14, 18, 20
57
In this context, the aim of this work was to improve our understanding of aldehyde-amine
58
reactions in the atmosphere and to assess the potential of these reactions in the formation of
59
secondary organic aerosols. In our study pinonaldehyde and dimethylamine were employed as
60
model compounds for the clarification of gas phase aldehyde-amine reaction products with a
61
special focus on the formation of N-containing compounds. Pinonaldehyde-DMA reactions were
62
performed in Tedlar bag and reaction products were monitored with high performance analytical
63
methodologies. The gaseous phase was first characterized on-line by chemical ionization mass
64
spectrometry. Thecompounds from DMA-pinonaldehyde reactions were also identified by high
65
performance off-line analytical techniques: by gas chromatography coupled to chemical
66
ionization high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-CI-QTOF-MS) and

ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization Orbitrap mass

spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Formation of brown carbon was studied using liquid
69
chromatography coupled with UV-Vis detector and mass spectrometry. Ambient aerosol
70
samples, collected from SMEAR II boreal forest site at Hyytiälä, Finland, during August 2015,
71
were analyzed by the same techniques to support the results of laboratory experiments.
72
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
73
Tedlar bag experiments
74
Pinonaldehyde was synthesized by oxidative bond cleavage of pinanediol (Sigma Aldrich, St.
75
Louis, USA, 99 %) according to the method described by Glasius et al.22 Solid dimethylamine
76
HCl (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA, 99 %) was used to prepare DMA solution (2 mL) by
77
weighing and diluting it with ultrapure water (DirectQ-UV, Millipore, USA).
78
Reactivity experiments were carried out under dry conditions, at atmospheric pressure and 295 ±
79
3 K in a 10 L Teflon reaction chamber (Tedlar® bag, Sigma-Aldrich), which was filled with
80
nitrogen. At first, a desired volume of pinonaldehyde was injected into the bag by microliter
81
syringe and evaporated slowly by applying heat from a hair dryer. Because pinonaldehyde
82
decomposes easily when heated, the composition of gaseous phase has been checked after its
83
evaporation to confirm the absence of degradation products. Gas phase DMA was prepared
84
separately in a headspace vial (20 ml) from the solution by adding 200 µL of 5 M potassium
85
hydroxide (J.T. Baker, Sweden) through the septa with a syringe. The vial was left to equilibrate
86
for approximately 10 min at room temperature. A known volume of headspace was sampled
87
using 5 ml gastight syringe and injected in the bag when the signalof pinonaldehyde was stable.
88
Gas-phase constituents were monitored on-line using 0.1 mm i.d. deactivated fused silica

89
capillary, which connected Tedlar bag with chemical ionization source of a triple quadrupole
90
mass spectrometer with unit mass resolution (Bruker Scion 436-MS). Vacuum of the mass
91
spectrometer was used to sample reaction mixture. Isobutane C4H10 (99.95 %, AGA), gas with
92
high proton affinity (818.9 kJ/mol), was used for chemical ionization to minimize fragmentation.
93
Off-line analysis
94
Complementary off-line techniques were used to study the chemical composition of gas and
95
condensable products. Sampling of the gas phase was performed during the reaction using
96
gastight syringe (1 mL) for the analysis by gas chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass
97
spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS). Low volatile products condensed on the walls of the bag were
98
analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass
99
spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) after extraction with acetonitrile. Reaction products were studied
100
also for their light absorbing properties (brown carbon) by adding UV-Vis spectrophotometer
101
before the mass spectrometric detection.
102
Gas chromatographic analysis
103
A 7200 accurate-mass GC-QTOF MS instrument (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA) was
104
used to identify gaseous compounds from DMA-pinonaldehyde reaction, operating in CI mode.
105
The GC separation was performed using a HP-5 MS capillary column (Agilent Technologies,
106
Santa Clara, USA) 30 m x 0.25 mm i.d. and a film thickness of 0.25 µm. The injector was
107
operated at 250 °C and helium (purity > 99.999 %) was used as the carrier at constant pressure of
108
0.76 bars. The GC oven temperature was as follows: 35 °C (held for 3 min), then 15 °C/min to
109
325 °C (held for 3 min), resulting in a total run time of 25.3 min. The transfer line temperature
110
was 280 °C while ion source was kept at 250 °C. TOF for MS was operated at 5 spectra/s

acquiring the mass range m/z 70–600 with resolution of 13500. Isobutane was used as chemical
112
ionization gas. Emission and electron energy were respectively fixed to 150 µA and 150 eV. The
113
MS2 conditions were optimized for each compound with a quadrupole for isolation at a medium
114
MS resolution and 20 was selected as collision energy. MassHunter qualitative analysis B.07 was
115
used for the treatment of data.
116
Liquid chromatographic analysis
117
After reaction, the walls of the bag were washed with 4 × 5 mL of acetonitrile using glass
118
pipette. The extracts were evaporated with a gentle stream of nitrogen until 100 µL. The final
119
extracts were dissolved in 80:20 water/acetonitrile (v/v). To check for possible hydrolysis, some
120
samples were dissolved in pure acetonitrile. Condensable products were analyzed with a Thermo
121
Ultimate 3000 UHPLC coupled with an Orbitrap Fusion TMS (Tribrid mass spectrometer), using
122
an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (Waters, Ireland) (50 x 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm). The eluent
123
composition was (A) 0.1 % formic acid in Milli-Q grade water and (B) 0.1 % formic acid in
124
acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The mobile phase gradient was initially 95:5 (v/v, A/B),
125
increased to 100 % B along 15 min and returned to 95:5 (v/v, A/B) in 1 min and then kept for 4
126
min to equilibrate the column. Electrospray ionization was used in the positive mode. The
127
parameters used for the mass spectrometer were the following: spray voltage 3000 V, sweep gas
128
flow rate 0 respective arbitrary units (AU); sheath gas flow rate 10 AU; aux gas flow rate 5 AU;
129
ion transfer tube temperature 350 °C; vaporizer temperature 300 °C; Orbitrap resolution 120 000;
130
scan range m/z 50-600; maximum injection time 100 ms; automated gain control (AGC) target
131
250 000; S-lens RF level, 60 %.

132
Formation of the brown carbon during the reaction was studied by Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC-
133
UV-Vis system coupled with Agilent 6420 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The
134
chromatographic conditions were the same as for the Orbitrap analysis, except for the flow rate,
135
which was 0.3 mL/min and the eluent composition, which was (A) 0.01 % acetic acid in Milli-Q
136
grade water and (B) 0.01 % acetic acid in acetonitrile. In addition to mass spectrum, UV-Vis
137
spectrum in range from 300 to 500 nm was recorded.
138
Ambient samples
139
Sampling
140
Boreal forest samples were collected from August 3 to August 27, 2015 at the Station for
141
Measuring Forest Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations (SMEAR II) at Hyytiälä, in southern
142
Finland (61°50.845’ N, 24°17.686’ E, 179 m above sea level).23 The largest nearby city is
143
Tampere, situated 60 km south west from SMEAR II station with around 200 000 inhabitants.
144
Flora in Hyytiälä is dominated by Scots pine and Norway spruces.
145
Samples were collected using two different set-ups (Figure S1). The size segregated samples
146
were collected using a differential mobility analyzer to select a specific size of ultrafine particles
147
(30 ± 6 nm particle size). Scheme of the 30 nm aerosol collection system is presented in our
148
previous study24. This set-up was optimized to increase the aerosol flow rate to 9.6 L/min. The
149
differential mobility analyzer was operated in a closed-loop flow arrangement with a sheath flow
150
of 39 L/min. Voltages, corresponding to particle sizes of 30 nm, were preselected to collect
151
particles onto PTFE filter (47 mm, 1.0 µm, Pall Corporation) placed downstream of the
152
differential mobility analyzer sample flow (9.6 L/min). A timer was connected to the high
153
voltage (HV) supply, which switched off the voltage and simultaneously the three-way valve to

154
collect zero samples. Thus, 30 nm particles were collected for a 15 min period, and particle-free
155
air was sampled onto a second filter for a further 15 min period. Before size segregation,
156
particles were brought to a known charge distribution with an Am-241 alpha-source (60 MBq).
157
The validation of this set-up was performed in our laboratory and in this configuration the
158
aerosol size was 30 ± 6 nm (Figure S2). Total suspended particles (TSP) were collected
159
simultaneously with gas phase using the set-up described in Figure S1b. TSP were collected also
160
on PTFE filters at 4.7 L/min. The collection time was 72 hours for 30 nm aerosol particles and
161
24 hours for TSP and gas phase sampling. As described in Figure S1b, gas phase was collected
162
into two different solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges (C8 and divinylbenzene (DVB)
163
cartridges). After sampling and until analysis, filters were kept in 10 mL of acetonitrile in dark in
164
a freezer at -18°C. The SPE cartridges were immediately extracted slowly with 7.5 mL of
165
acetonitrile and were kept in dark in a freezer at -18°C.
166
Sample preparation
167
Before the analysis, test tubes with filters in acetonitrile were sonicated for 30 min. Extracts from
168
filter samples and SPE cartridges were evaporated with a gentle stream of nitrogen until 250 µL
169
volume was reached. Half of the sample was kept in acetonitrile for LC analysis. The other half
170
of the sample was evaporated until 10 µL and reconstituted in 100 µL of dichloromethane for GC
171
analysis. Ambient samples were analyzed by GC-QTOF-MS and UHPLC-Orbitrap Fusion TMS
172
using the same methods as for laboratory reactivity experiments. Field blanks (particle-free air
173
samples, blank filter samples and blank SPE cartridges) and laboratory blanks were extracted and
174
analyzed following the same procedures to determine any potential contamination during the
175
sampling, transportation, storage and the analysis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
178
Table 1 presents the initial experimental conditions from pinonaldehyde-DMA reactions
179
observed in this work. First experiments (R0, B0(1) and B0(2)) were performed in high
180
concentrations in order to test if the formation of gaseous and condensable products from
181
pinonaldehyde-DMA reactions occur and to optimize the different analytical methodologies (on-
182
line analysis by CI-MS and off-line analysis by GC-CI-QTOF-MS and UHPLC-HRMS). Other
183
experiments (R1, R2, R3, B1 and B2) were performed in lower concentrations. Wall losses of
184
pinonaldehyde were always observed and quantified to be around 10-30 % according the
185
experiments, so order of magnitude of the expected gas phase concentration was not affected.
186
Since approach used here was not designed for atmospherically relevant conditions, only
187
qualitative information is presented.
188
On-line monitoring of the reaction mixture by CI-MS revealed decreased pinonaldehyde
189
concentration after the injection of DMA (Figure S3). This observation demonstrated the
190
reactivity in gas phase between DMA and pinonaldehdyde, even in “low” concentration
191
(reactions R1). The formation of gaseous product was simultaneously confirmed by the increased
192
m/z 196 ion signal. For the experiments R0, R2 and R3, initial increase in the abundance of the
193
ion m/z 196 was followed by its decrease (Figure S3), demonstrating possible reactivity of m/z
194
196 with DMA and/or pinonaldehyde. No other gaseous products in the scan range of 80 - 400
195
m/z were observed, meaning that the reaction leads to the formation of low-volatile compounds,
196
which are condensed on the walls of the bag. In order to get structural information of the gaseous

197
and condensable products, high resolution off-line GC-QTOF-MS and UHPLC-HRMS analysis
198
(MS2 or MS3) were performed and the results are described below.
199
Gaseous products from pinonaldehyde-DMA reaction
200
GC-QTOF-MS base peak chromatograms (BPCs) of m/z 169.1223 (pinonaldehyde, C10H17O2+)
201
and the product of the reaction between pinonaldehyde and DMA m/z 196.1696 (± 3 ppm)
202
together with its fragmentation pattern are shown in Figures 1a and 1b. Difference between
203
theoretical and measured masses obtained by TOF-MS are small and well within commonly
204
acceptable errors (i. e, ± 5 ppm). These results demonstrate the formation of m/z 196.1696
205
products in gas phase during all the experiments. Gaseous products (m/z 196.1696) were not
206
observed in the blank experiments (B0(1), B0(2), B1 and B2). The analysis revealedthat there are
207
three isomers formed in the reaction. Based on the accurate mass measurements combined with
208
fragmentation patterns(Figure 1b), evidence of nitrogen containing compounds was confirmed in
209
our experiments. Accurate masses of these three compounds indicate that their [M + H]+ ion
210
formula is C12H22NO+. The CI and EI spectra of these three isomers are given in Figure S4. MS2
211
experiments show that all isomers produce the same fragments, but their ratios slightly differ.
212
The main gaseous compound (Figure 1a, iii) accounts for 94 ± 3 % of the gaseous reaction
213
products detected from pinonaldehyde-DMA experiments.
214
The m/z 196.1696 ions were also observed by UHPLC-HRMS from the acetonitrile extract of the
215
walls of the bag after DMA-pinonaldehyde experiments. Figures 2a and 2b present respectively
216
the MS2 fragmentation pattern of the main m/z 196.1696 ion and the MS3 fragmentation pattern
217
of the fragment ion m/z 126.1278. The neutral loss of C2H7N (45.0578) is consistent with the
218
formation of amine reaction product, especially from dimethylamine. The MS2 fragmentation
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
10

219
pattern from GC-QTOF-MS analysis shows the formation of acetaldehyde ion m/z 43.0178
220
(C2H3O+), demonstrating that the reaction between DMA and pinonaldehyde occurred on the
221
aldehyde function. Figure 1b, 2a and 2b show the formation of m/z 71.0491 (C4H7O+) product
222
ion and m/z 126.1277 (C8H16N+) product ion (rupture of the cyclobutane moieties), confirming
223
the structure of the main gaseous product from pinonaldehyde-DMA reaction presented in the
224
Figure 2c. The proposed MS2 fragmentation pathway of the ion m/z 196.1696 is given in Figure
225
S5.
226
The chemical formulas of these isomers, based on high resolution MS, were confirmed to be
227
C12H21ON, thus corresponding to chemical structure with degree of unsaturation of 3 (Figure 2c).
228
The MS2 fragmentation patterns of the isomers are similar, proving the formation of
229
configurational isomers (geometric or optical isomers). The structure proposed in Figure 2c is in
230
the agreement with the mechanism proposed by Qiu and Zhang,17 suggesting the formation of
231
enamine compound from the reaction between the carbonyl and secondary amine functionalities.
232
Accordingly it is obvious that DMA reacts on the aldehyde function to give carbinolamines
233
which then dehydrate to give enamine compounds.25 The structure of these compounds are
234
similar to some N-containing compounds which play an important role in the chemistry of
235
atmospheric brown carbon,26 suggesting that DMA-pinonaldehyde may be important not only for
236
secondary organic aerosol formation but also for the formation of brown carbon. As presented in
237
a recent review on multiphase chemistry of atmospheric amines,17 the carbonyl group can react
238
with secondary amines to form enamine compounds. These compounds may condense on or be
239
partitioned into the particle-phase and engage in heterogeneous reactions. The formation of
240
imines, enamines and polymerized products from the reaction between amines and carbonyl

11
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 12 of 26
241
compounds in bulk solution or particle phase reactions have been also demonstrated
242
previously.27
243
In order to assess atmospheric relevance of them/z 196.1696, its vapor pressure was determined
244
using gas chromatographic approach developed in our laboratory. Briefly, the method is based
245
on relation between vapor pressure and the retention time in GC. Compounds with similar
246
functionality and known vapor pressure values eluting before and after the studied compound are
247
used as references for the calculation.28 Vapor pressure was found to be (7.7 ± 0.5) × 10-3 Torr at
248
298 K, being 10 times lower than the vapor pressure of pinonaldehyde and in the same order of
249
magnitude as that of pinonic acid.29 Thus, it is clear that the product has high potential to
250
participate in the formation of secondary organic aerosol in the atmosphere. Moreover, relatively
251
low vapor pressure explains why the compound was seen in both gas and liquid phases.
252
Formation of low-volatile compounds from pinonaldehyde-DMA reaction
253
Figure 3 presents total ion chromatograms (TICs) from the DMA-pinonaldehyde reaction sample
254
(3a) and from the pinonaldehyde sample (3b) obtained by Orbitrap UHPLC-HRMS analysis.
255
Based on the accurate mass measurements (Table 2), evidence of N-containing low-volatile
256
compounds was confirmed under our experimental conditions from the extraction samples of the
257
bag walls. Differences between the theoretical and measured masses are very small and well
258
within commonly acceptable errors (i. e. < ± 3 ppm). According to our knowledge, this is the
259
first time when these compounds are reported in the literature. Our results are in agreement with
260
previous studies that have demonstrated the formation of N-containing oligomeric compounds
261
from small carbonyl compound and amines.14, 18

262
As discussed in the previous section, m/z 196.1696 ions were also detected in condensable phase,
263
demonstrating that these compounds may be partitioning between gas and particle phase in
264
ambient conditions. Another C12 compound was detected in our experimental conditions with
265
accurate mass suggesting formula of C12H24ON+ for the protonated molecular ion. High-
266
molecular weight nitrogen containing compounds (MW > 360 Da), such as those containing one
267
DMA and two pinonaldehydes (dimeric structure), were also detected. At least two isomers of
268
m/z 364.2846 (C22H38O3N+) and five isomers of m/z 380.2795 (C22H38O4N+) were observed in
269
the analysis of condensation products (Table 2). The accurate mass measurements of their
270
corresponding [M + H]+ ions indicate the formation of C22 carbon compounds. Liggio et al.,30
271
proposed the formation of pinonaldehyde dimers which can react further with DMA and explain
272
the formation of these low volatile N-containing compounds. The formation of m/z 196.1696,
273
m/z 198.1853, m/z 364.2846 and m/z 380.2795 were observed in all the experiments (excluding
274
blanks). In high concentration conditions (reaction R0), ions with m/z 532.3996 were also
275
detected. The accurate masses of these [M + H]+ ions indicate that their formula is C32H54O5N+.
276
However, most probably these compounds are not formed in ambient conditions because they
277
were not observed during the low concentration experiments R1, R2 and R3. The same results
278
for the condensation products were obtained also with the APCI, which further proves that these
279
products were formed in the reaction and not in the MS ionization process (adduct and cluster
280
formation should be different compared to ESI). These results suggest the potential role of
281
DMA-pinonaldehyde reaction and more generally aldehyde-amine reactions to participate in the
282
formation of N-containing low-volatile organic compounds. Analogs of these products were also
283
observed previously during the reaction between ozonolysis oxidation products from limonene or
284
α-pinene and ammonia.31-33 Previous field measurements have also demonstrated the occurrence

13

285
of N-containing high-MW compounds with carbon-nitrogen bonds in urban aerosols, suggesting
286
that carbonyl-amine reactions may be an important source of nitrogen-containing compounds in
287
the aerosol-phase in the atmosphere.34 Because pinonaldehyde is present in particle phase in the
288
atmosphere,35 multiphase chemistry of atmospheric amines with pinonaldehyde may take place.
289
Futhermore, water in particles can catalyze the heterogeneous aldehyde-amine reactions.17 Water
290
is also important for dimerization via hydrates36 which could explain the higher mass products
291
obtained here.
292
Interestingly, the extracts from experiments R0 were yellow, suggesting that DMA-
293
pinonaldehyde may play a role in brown carbon formation. Thus, we evaluated the ability of
294
DMA-pinonaldehyde to form light-absorbing species, as demonstrated in aqueous phase
295
reactions of small carbonyl compounds and amines.20, 37 Previous studies have also demonstrated
296
the formation of brown carbon from carbonyl compounds from ozonolysis of α-pinene and
297
limonene with NH3.31-33, 38 These studies have highlighted the significant fraction of carbonyl-
298
imine conversion products. As can be seen in Figure S6, condensable products indeed absorb
299
radiation in the range from 300 to 500 nm. The Figure shows separately absorption spectra for
300
m/z 196 and two dimers (m/z 364, 380) as well as the average absorption spectra for the whole
301
chromatogram. Note, that in contrast to m/z 196, dimers have high absorption demonstrating that
302
they might play an important role for brown carbon formation. UV-Vis chromatogram differs
303
significantly from the MS chromatogram, namely the former suggests that the studied reaction
304
produces much more brown carbon compounds, compared to the results obtained by MS.
305
Interestingly, the reaction between pinonaldehyde and ammonia did not result in formation of
306
brown carbon species in liquid phase as was shown by Nguyen et al.39 Our results indicate that

308
clear, but its study in detail requires additional experiments and was out of scope of this research.

Atmospheric evidence of N-containing compounds from DMA-pinonaldehyde reaction in
310
Boreal forest samples
311
Figure 4 shows the comparison of base peak chromatograms (BCPs) for the ion m/z 196.1696
312
and m/z 380.2795 for (A) DMA-pinonaldehyde reactions, (B) 30 nm sample (August 14-17,
313
2015), (C) TSP sample (August 14-15, 2015), and for (D) DVB cartridge SPE (August 14-15,
314
2015). Based on good agreement between the retention times and the accurate masses obtained,
315
the m/z 196 and m/z 380 found in the boreal forest samples were attributed to the N-containing
316
compounds from pinonaldehyde-DMA reactions. The other reaction products identified in
317
laboratory experiments were not observed in the boreal forest samples.
318
At least four isomers of m/z 196 were detected from the laboratory experiments but only one
319
from ambient samples (RT 4.97 min). Detection of the ion with m/z 196 also in ambient gas
320
phase samples agrees with the results from the laboratory experiments. Two compounds
321
(C12H21ON and C22H37O4N) were detected in TSP and 30 nm aerosol samples, meaning that
322
DMA-pinonaldehyde reactions may play an important role in the first step of the formation of
323
new particles in the atmosphere. Quantification was not possible in this work, since sufficient
324
amount of synthesized and purified compounds was not available. Nevertheless, it would be
325
worthwhile to quantify these compounds in future studies to estimate their contribution to the
326
formation of SOA in the atmosphere. Figure 5 presents the peak area divided by the sampling
327
volume (in liters) of m/z 196.1696 (RT 4.97 min) and m/z 380.2795 ions (RT 6.30 min) for the

330
As shown in Figure 5, the trend of m/z 196.1696 ion is in good agreement with the number
331
concentration of 30 nm aerosols in the atmosphere, except for sample 2 (August 6-10, 2015) and
332
sample 3 (August 10-14, 2015). No correlation was found with meteorological parameters, with
333
the concentration of atmospheric oxidants or with the concentration of monoterpenes to explain
334
the low concentration of m/z 196.1696 ions in sample 2 and 3. The m/z 380.2795 ion was
335
observed only in one sample (14-17 of August 2015) with the highest concentration of 30 nm
336
aerosol particles. As presented in supplementary information (Figure S7), the three days
337
measured (14-17 August 2015) were characterized by high nucleation events, suggesting a direct
338
link between the formation of these compounds and the formation of new particles in the
339
atmosphere. Figure S8 presents the identification of these compounds in TSP samples during
340
August, 2015. From the total of 23 samples, C12H21ON and C22H37O4N compounds were
341
detected in ten and four samples during this field campaign in the boreal forest. Our results prove
342
that the two compounds, C22H21ON and C22H37O4N, can be formed also under ambient
343
conditions.
344
In this study, new evidence was achieved on the nitrogen-containing compounds originating
345
from DMA-pinonaldehyde reaction in both laboratory experiments and ambient air (gas and
346
aerosol phase) sampled in the boreal forest at Hyytiälä, Finland. Because aldehyde compounds
347
and amines are ubiquitous in the atmosphere, the reactions in gas phase or the heterogeneous
348
reactions between these compounds could be important for the formation and growth of SOAs in
349
the atmosphere. These observations suggests the potential impact of amine-aldehyde chemistry
350
in remote forested atmosphere. Furthermore, the reactions could be likely acid-catalyzed, since
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
16
Page 17 of 26

351
sulfuric acid, nitric acids or organic acids are commonly available in the atmospheric particle-
352
phase. However, more studies are needed to quantify these compounds in ambient samples and
353
to elucidate their formation pathways. The experimental approach described in this study was
354
efficient for the preliminary screening of possible reactions and their products on-line with the
355
possibility of collecting samples for the off-line GC and UHPLC analysis with HRMS detection.
356
Additional confirmation of the results from the reaction experiments could be done in smog
357
chamber with more atmospherically relevant conditions.
