The manuscript describes measurements of the viscosity of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) samples derived from the oxidation of the anthropogenic precursor toluene using poke-flow and bead mobility techniques. The results are compared with previous measurements for the system derived from impactor measurements and uptake measurements of ammonia, and contrasted with previous measurements for SOA...

A practical aerobic oxidation of indole carbinols using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O/TEMPO/NaCl in DCE at room temperature and atmospheric pressure of oxygen affording aldehydes or ketones in good to excellent yields was developed. Furthermore, when using the industrially favored solvent toluene instead of DCE and air instead of pure oxygen, this protocol also works smoothly, demonstrating its high potential ...

Abstract Hopcalite supported Ag (wt.%: 0.5; 1; 2; 10)‐containing materials were prepared by wet impregnation followed calcination at 400 °C for adsorption‐thermal catalytic oxidation of toluene. Based on breakthrough experiments, the duration adsorption step was set around 38 min to minimize toluene loss outlet reactor (<3 mol% amount adsorbed) allowing determine a dynamic useful capacity Th...

Calculations of alternative oxidation pathways of toluene and its ortho-substituted nitro derivatives by permanganate anion have been performed. The competition between methyl group and ring oxidation has been addressed. Acceptable results have been obtained using IEFPCM/B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations with zero-point (ZPC) and thermal corrections, as validated by comparison with the experimenta...
