Vegetation emits a class of oxygenated hydrocarbons - the green leaf volatiles (GLVs) - under stress or damage. Under foggy conditions GLVs might be a source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) via aqueous reactions with hydroxyl radical (OH), singlet oxygen (1O2*), and excited triplet states (3C*). To examine this, we determined the aqueous kinetics and SOA mass yields for reactions of 3C* and 1O2* with five GLVs: methyl jasmonate (MeJa), methyl salicylate (MeSa), cis-3-hexenyl acetate (HxAc), cis-3-hexen-1-ol (HxO), and 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol (MBO). Second-order rate constants with 3C* and 1O2* range from (0.13鈥?2) 脳 108 M鈥? s鈥? and (8.2鈥?0) 脳 105 M鈥? s鈥? at 298 K, respectively. Rate constants with 3C* are independent of temperature, while values with 1O2* show significant temperature dependence (Ea = 20鈥?6 kJ mol鈥?). Aqueous SOA mass yields for oxidation by 3C* are (84 卤 7)%, (80 卤 9)%, and (38 卤 18)%, for MeJa, MeSa, and HxAc, respectively; we did not measure yields for other conditions because of slow kinetics. The aqueous production of SOA from GLVs is dominated by 3C* and OH reactions, which form low volatility products at a rate that is approximately half that from the parallel gas-phase reactions of GLVs.
