TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes some of the important developments during the past decade in understanding secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, including formation of extremely low volatility organics in the gas phase, acid-catalyzed multiphase chemistry of isoprene epoxydiols, particle-phase oligomerization, and physical properties such as volatility and viscosity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the viscosity of the water-soluble component of secondary organic material (SOM) produced by α-pinene ozonolysis is quantified for 20- to 50-μm particles at 293-295 K.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles, formed by the dark ozonolysis of α-pinene, was characterized by a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer.

TL;DR: It is found that never-before-identified low-volatility organic species, which are highly functionalized, explain a major fraction of the total particle nitrate mass measured by the traditional aerosol mass spectrometer, shows that these organic nitrates are likely derived from oxidation of biogenic hydrocarbons and persist in the particle phase for only a few hours.

TL;DR: Fifteen compounds, most of which are nitrophenols, are identified as major BrC chromophores responsible for the enhanced light absorption of Tol-SOA material produced in the presence of NOx.
