Despite several investigations on the atmospheric fate of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS), the oxidation chemistry of these purely anthropogenic, high production volume compounds is poorly understood. This led to uncertainties in the environmental impact and fate of the oxidation products. According to laboratory measurements, the main VMS oxidation product is the siloxanol (a −CH3replaced with an −OH); however, none of the mechanisms proposed to date satisfactorily explain its formation. Motivated by our previous experimental observations of VMS oxidation products, we use theoretical quantum chemical calculations to (1) explore a previously unconsidered reaction pathway to form the siloxanol from a reaction of a siloxy radical with gas-phase water, (2) investigate differences in reaction rates of radical intermediates in hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) oxidation, and (3) attempt to explain the experimentally observed products. Our results suggest that while the proposed reaction of the siloxy radical with water to form the siloxanol can occur, it is too slow to compete with other unimolecular reactions and thus cannot explain the observed siloxanol formation. We also find that the reaction between the initial D3 peroxy radical (RO2•) with HO2•is slower than previously anticipated (calculated as 3 × 10–13cm3molecule–1s–1for D3 and 2 × 10–11cm3molecule–1s–1for D4 compared to the general rate of ∼1 × 10–11cm3molecule–1s–1). Finally, we compare the anticipated fates of the RO2•under a variety of conditions and find that a reaction with NO (assuming a general RO2•+ NO bimolecular rate constant of 9 × 10–12cm3molecule–1s–1) will likely be the dominant fate in urban conditions, while isomerization can be important in cleaner environments.
