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.Collaborators:
