Abstract Aromatic carbonyls (eg, methoxybenzaldehydes), an important class of
photosensitizers, are abundant in the atmosphere. Photosensitization and nitrate-mediated …

Aromatic carbonyls have been mainly probed as photosensitizers for aqueous secondary
organic aerosol (aqSOA) and light-absorbing organic aerosol (ie, brown carbon or BrC) …

Light-absorbing organic aerosols, referred to as brown carbon (BrC), play a vital role in the
global climate and air quality. Due to the complexity of BrC chromophores, the identified …
