TL;DR: The two distinct CH3CHOO conformers, syn- and anti-, both of which react readily with SO2 and with NO2, are probed, and it is demonstrated that anti-CH 3CHOO is substantially more reactive toward water and SO2 than is syn-CH3 CHOO.

TL;DR: The reactions of the simplest Criegee intermediate, CH(2)OO (formaldehyde oxide), with three carbonyl species have been measured by laser photolysis/tunable synchrotron photoionization mass spectrometry and the rate coefficient is supported, supporting the use of hexafluoroacetone as aCriegee-intermediate scavenger.

TL;DR: In this article, the HeI vacuum ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum of the methyl radical produced by pyrolysis of azomethane has been investigated and three ionization potentials corresponding to the formation of the 1A′1, 3E′ and 1E′ ionic states were observed with vertical ionisation potentials of 984, 1476 and 1610 eV respectively, with the aid of both ab initio and semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method of Franck-Condon (FC) factor calculation for nonlinear polyatomics, which includes anharmonicity and Duschinsky rotation, is reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the effect of Criegees on atmospheric chemistry, and demonstrate that ozonolysis of alkenes via the reaction of carbonyl oxides potentially has a large impact on atmospheric sulphuric acid concentrations and consequently the first steps in aerosol production.
