Organic carbon (OC) accounts for a large fraction of atmospheric aerosol and has profound
effects on air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate forcing. The molecular composition …

This Review aims to summarize the current understanding of bulk tropospheric aqueous-
phase chemistry. Because a complete review of all developments in this area would be …

It is hard to overstate the importance of oxygenated organic compounds in atmospheric
chemistry. Oxygenated organic compounds are emitted into the atmosphere from natural …

Brown carbon (BrC) plays an essential impact on radiative forcing due to its ability to absorb
sunlight. In this study, the optical properties and molecular characteristics of water-soluble …

The formation and aging of organic aerosols (OA) proceed through multiple steps of
chemical reaction and mass transport in the gas and particle phases, which is challenging …

Rainwater dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in the biogeochemical
cycle and evolution of organic matter in the land-atmosphere interface. To better understand …

Water-soluble humic like substances (HULIS) in smoke particles emitted from combustion of
biomass materials and coal were characterized by ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion …

Vanillin (VL), a phenolic aromatic carbonyl abundant in biomass burning emissions, forms
triplet excited states (3 VL∗) under simulated sunlight leading to aqueous secondary …

N-containing organic compounds (NOCs) in humic-like substances (HULIS) emitted from
biomass burning (BB) and coal combustion (CC) were characterized by ultrahigh-resolution …

The light-absorbing organic aerosol referred to as brown carbon (BrC) affects the global
radiative balance. The linkages between its molecular composition and light absorption …
