(≥99%, Sigma-Aldrich) was reacted with ozone produced by a
UV lamp (3SC-9 185/254 nm UV Appleton Woods). The spin-trap N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone (PBN)
(≥98%, GC grade, Sigma-Aldrich) was used to react with and
stabilize CIs in the particle phase analysis. A more volatile spin-trap
DMPO (≥97%, GC grade, Sigma-Aldrich) was used to react with
and stabilize CIs in the gas phase. Acetonitrile (≥99.9% Optima
LC/MS grade, Fisher Chemical) was used as a solvent to facilitate
CI capture in the particle-phase experiments using an impinger.
