Goals
Observe the products (first generation:beta IEPOX) of OH oxidation; evaluate the OH LIF interference from an organic peroxide; observe ISOPOOH and its oxidation products as interferences for GC-FID/PTR-MS/others.

Summary
The experiment went well. Long sampling periods were provided before and after oxidation to help instrument teams evaluate interferences from ISOPOOH and its products. A little over 2/3 of the ISOPOOH was reacted away using ~500 ppb of H2O2 as the OH source. Note that the ISOPOOH sample itself contained H2O2, so H2O2 was present in the bag before it was added explicitly.

Description:
The Focused Isoprene eXperiment at the California Institute of Technology (FIXCIT) was a collaborative study at the atmospheric chambers of Caltech during January 2014. FIXCIT is the laboratory component of SOAS, and is aimed toward (1) better understanding the chemical details behind ambient observations relevant to the southeastern United States, (2) advancing the knowledge of atmospheric oxidation mechanisms of important biogenic hydrocarbons, and (3) characterizing the behavior of field instrumentation using authentic standards. A series of chamber experiments was conducted to investigate the oxidation of isoprene, α-pinene, methacrolein, pinonaldehyde, acylperoxy nitrates, isoprene hydroxy nitrates (ISOPN), isoprene hydroxy hydroperoxides (ISOPOOH), and isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX). Pinonaldehyde and isomer-specific standards of ISOPN, ISOPOOH, and IEPOX were synthesized, enabling study of the oxidation mechanisms and instrument responses for these compounds.
