3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid: An atmospheric tracer for terpene secondary organic aerosol
Rafal Szmigielski,Jason D. Surratt,Yadian Gómez-González,Pieter Van der Veken,Ivan Kourtchev,Reinhilde Vermeylen,Frank Blockhuys,Mohammed Jaoui,Tadeusz E. Kleindienst,Michael Lewandowski,John H. Offenberg,Edward O. Edney,John H. Seinfeld,Willy Maenhaut,Magda Claeys +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the unknown α-pinene tracer compound with molecular weight (MW) 204 was confirmed as the C8-tricarboxylic acid 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxyl acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of organosulfates from the photooxidation of isoprene and unsaturated fatty acids in ambient aerosol using liquid chromatography/(-) electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
Yadian Gómez-González,Jason D. Surratt,Filip Cuyckens,Rafal Szmigielski,Reinhilde Vermeylen,Mohammed Jaoui,Michael Lewandowski,John H. Offenberg,Tadeusz E. Kleindienst,Edward O. Edney,Frank Blockhuys,Christian Van Alsenoy,Willy Maenhaut,Magda Claeys +13 more
TL;DR: The polar organosulfates characterized in the present work are of climatic relevance because they may contribute to the hydrophilic properties of fine ambient aerosol and probably serve as ambient tracer compounds for the occurrence of secondary organic aerosol formation under acidic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terpenylic Acid and Related Compounds from the Oxidation of α-Pinene: Implications for New Particle Formation and Growth above Forests
Magda Claeys,Yoshiteru Iinuma,Rafal Szmigielski,Jason D. Surratt,Frank Blockhuys,Christian Van Alsenoy,Olaf Böge,Berko Sierau,Yadian Gómez-González,Reinhilde Vermeylen,Pieter Van der Veken,Mona Shahgholi,Arthur W. H. Chan,Hartmut Herrmann,John H. Seinfeld,Willy Maenhaut +15 more
TL;DR: Quantitative chemical calculations support that noncovalent dimer formation involving double hydrogen bonding interactions between carboxyl groups of the monomers is energetically favorable and are suggested to play a role in new particle formation and growth above forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
White light emission from a single layer organic light emitting diode fabricated by spincoating
J.P. Yang,J.P. Yang,Yadong Jin,P.L Heremans,R Hoefnagels,P Dieltiens,Frank Blockhuys,H. J. Geise,M. Van der Auweraer,Gustaaf Borghs +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported white light emission from an organic light emitting diode (OLED) prepared by spin coating, where the organic layer is a single layer of polystyrene, in which they incorporated rubrene for orange emission and the phenylene-vinylene trimer, 1,4-bis(1,1-diphenyl-2-ethenyl) benzene (PEB) for blue emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized analogues of Tröger's base: scope and limitations of a general synthetic procedure and facile, predictable method for the separation of enantiomers
Delphine Didier,Benoît Tylleman,Natacha Lambert,Christophe M. L. Vande Velde,Frank Blockhuys,Alain Collas,Sergey Sergeyev +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a facile method for the enantioseparation of functionalized Troger's base analogues possessing various substitution patterns was developed, and a detailed report on the scope and limitations of the general synthetic protocol employing anilines and paraformaldehyde in CF3COOH was provided.
