Photodissociation is the major sink for aldehydes and ketones in the troposphere and is a primary source of free radicals which are important reactive intermediates in the chemistry of other atmospheric constituents including ozone and compounds that contribute to the formation of acid rain. The competition between photodissociation and chemical reaction of aldehydes and ketones is an important factor controlling tropospheric free radical concentrations. Uncertainty in the absorption cross sections, quantum yields for photodissociation, and primary photolysis products for aliphatic aldehydes and ketones represents a significant source of error in models of tropospheric chemistry. The proposed research is a systematic study of the spectral and photochemical properties of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. The gas phase absorption spectra of these compounds in the wavelength region 200-400 nm will be measured in nitrogen/oxygen gas mixtures as a function of temperature to determine their absorption cross sections under conditions found in the troposphere. Absorption spectra will also be measured in aqueous solution to determine the cross sections for these compounds in atmospheric droplets. The primary quantum yields for gas phase and aqueous phase photodissociation of several of the compounds will be determined as a function of photolysis wavelength, temperature, partial pressure of aldehyde or ketone and total pressure (for gas phase measurements), and pH and dissolved oxygen concentration (for aqueous phase measurements). The results from the research will clarify the role of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones in the chemistry and photochemistry of the troposphere.

光解作用是对流层中醛和酮的主要汇，也是自由基的主要来源，自由基是其他大气成分（包括臭氧和有助于形成酸雨的化合物）的化学反应的重要中间体。醛酮光解与化学反应之间的竞争是控制对流层自由基浓度的重要因素。在对流层化学模型中，吸收截面、光解的量子产率以及脂肪醛和酮的初级光解产物的不确定性是一个重要的误差来源。本研究是对脂肪族醛类和酮类化合物的光谱和光化学性质的系统研究。这些化合物在200- 400nm波长范围内的气相吸收光谱将在氮/氧混合气体中作为温度的函数进行测量，以确定它们在对流层条件下的吸收截面。还将测量水溶液中的吸收光谱，以确定这些化合物在大气液滴中的横截面。几种化合物气相和水相光解的主要量子产率将被确定为光解波长、温度、醛或酮的分压和总压（用于气相测量）、pH和溶解氧浓度（用于水相测量）的函数。研究结果将阐明脂肪醛和酮在对流层化学和光化学中的作用。
