Although several per cent of net carbon assimilation can be re-released as isoprene emissions to the atmosphere by many tropical plants, much uncertainty remains regarding its biological significance. In a previous study, we detected emissions of isoprene and its oxidation products methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR) from tropical plants under high temperature/light stress, suggesting that isoprene is oxidized not only in the atmosphere but also within plants. However, a comprehensive analysis of the suite of isoprene oxidation products in plants has not been performed and production relationships with environmental stress have not been described. In this study, putative isoprene oxidation products from mango (Mangifera indica) branches under abiotic stress were first identified. High temperature/light and freeze-thaw treatments verified direct emissions of the isoprene oxidation products MVK and MACR together with the first observations of 3-methyl furan (3-MF) and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) as putative novel isoprene oxidation products. Mechanical wounding also stimulated emissions of MVK and MACR. Photosynthesis under (13)CO2 resulted in rapid (<30 min) labelling of up to five carbon atoms of isoprene, with a similar labelling pattern observed in the putative oxidation products. These observations highlight the need to investigate further the mechanisms of isoprene oxidation within plants under stress and its biological and atmospheric significance.

Variation of biogenic VOC contribution to ozone formation with reduced anthropogenic precursor emissions: Coupling online observation and future scenario simulation.

As an essential component of urban natural sources, isoprene has strong interactions and synergies with anthropogenic precursors (volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) of ozone (O), influencing O formation in urban areas. However, the variability of these effects under different anthropogenic emission scenarios has not been fully understood. This study, utilizing observational data from Dezhou (a medium-sized city in the center of North China Plain) from May to September in both 2019 and 2020, and incorporating four future scenarios based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1-2.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for C-H functionalization of heteroaryl compounds is introduced, which involves a process called dearomative addition followed by hydrogen autotransfer.
- This process starts with the hydroruthenation of dienes to create allylruthenium nucleophiles, leading to branched C-C coupling products through addition and β-hydride elimination.
- The study also details the formation of enantiomerically enriched heteroarylethyl alcohols and amines through oxidative cleavage and dynamic kinetic asymmetric reduction, supported by density functional theory calculations linking regioselectivities to molecular factors.
Kinetics and Oligomer Products of the Multiphase Reactions of Hydroxyacetone with Atmospheric Amines, Ammonium Sulfate, and Cloud Processing.

Hydroxyacetone (HA) is an atmospheric oxidation product of isoprene and other organic precursors that can form brown carbon (BrC). Measured bulk aqueous-phase reaction rates of HA with ammonium sulfate, methylamine, and glycine suggest that these reactions cannot compete with aqueous-phase hydroxyl radical oxidation. In cloud chamber photooxidation experiments with either gaseous or particulate HA in the presence of the same N-containing species, BrC formation was minor, with similar mass absorption coefficients at 365 nm (<0.

Arctic haze has attracted considerable scientific interest for decades. However, limited studies have focused on the molecular composition of atmospheric particulate matter that contributes to Arctic haze. Our study collected atmospheric particles at Alert in the Canadian high Arctic from mid-February to early May 2000.

Article Synopsis
- * This study focused on measuring the ice nucleation rate of 2-methyltetrols (2-MT), a component of certain organic aerosols, and found that as the aerosol's viscosity increases, its ice nucleation ability also increases significantly, especially when transitioning from liquid to semisolid states.
- * A new model based on classical nucleation theory was created to quantify the relationship between viscosity and ice nucleation rate, which can be used in climate models to better represent cir
