The protonation constant values of salicylic and 5-nitrosalicylic acid werestudied by a combinationof spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods at 25 °C in wide range of ionic strength. The ionicstrength of solutions was kept constant by sodium perchlorate as background electrolyte at 0.10 to 3.0 moldm-3. Potentiometer was calibrated according to Gran method at each of ionic strength. The p...

There has been some dispute regarding reaction products formed at physiological peroxynitrite fluxes in the nanomolar range with phenolic molecules, when used to predict the behavior of protein-bound aromatic amino acids like tyrosine. Previous data showed that at nanomolar fluxes of peroxynitrite, nitration of these phenolic compounds was outcompeted by dimerization (e.g. biphenols or dityrosi...

Abstract. Nitrated aromatic compounds (NACs) are a group of key chromophores for brown carbon (light-absorbing organic carbon, i.e., BrC) aerosol, which affects radiative forcing. The chemical composition and sources NACs their contributions to BrC absorption, however, still not well understood. In this study, PM2.5-bound in Xi'an, Northwest China, were investigated 112 daily PM2.5 filter sampl...
