1 Formic Sulfuric Anhydride: A new chemical species with possible implications for atmospheric aerosol 1 Rebecca B. Mackenzie, Christopher T. Dewberry, and Kenneth R. Leopold Department of Chemistry, University of Minnesota 70 th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy

2 2 Gases Complexes Solids & Liquids H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O + ??? Aerosols & Homogenous Nucleation Impact of aerosols

3 Gas Phase Formation of H 2 SO 4 Morokuma, K., Muguruma, C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116, 10316–10317 (1994). C.E. Kolb, J.T. Jayne, D.R. Worsnop, M.J. Molina, R.F Meads, A. Viggiano, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116, 10314-10315 (1994). Sulfuric acid is not directly emitted into the atmosphere SO 2, from both natural and anthropogenic sources, is converted to H 2 SO 4 through a series of steps Final step, the conversion from SO 3 and H 2 O to H 2 SO 4 3

19 Conclusions FSA forms readily from SO 3 + HCOOH – Computational work suggests a barrierless cycloaddition reaction – Requires the formation of only a dimer not a trimer Mechanism appears applicable to other carboxylic acids Hydrolysis could incorporate sulfuric acid and a carboxylic acid in prenucleation clusters 19
