Photolysis of nitrophenols in gas phase and aqueous environment: a potential daytime source for atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO)
Shaoxun Guo, Hui Li
Abstract
We employ quantum chemical calculations to reveal the mechanisms of HONO generation from the photolysis of nitrophenols in both gas and aqueous phases, which show that there are considerable atmospheric HONO sources in the daytime.
