Influence of aerosol acidity on the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol from β-caryophyllene [PDF]
The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yield of β-caryophyllene photooxidation is enhanced by aerosol acidity. In the present study, the influence of aerosol acidity on the chemical composition of β-caryophyllene SOA is investigated using ultra performance ...

Gas phase carbon acidity and correlations with aqueous pK~a~ values: A comparison of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), Gaussian-4 (G4), and experimental approaches [PDF]
Gas phase standard state (298.15 K, 1 atm) calculations were conducted at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) density functional and the Gaussian-4 (G4) composite method levels of theory to estimate the acidity of various carbon acids.
