Multiphase Chemistry of Highly Oxidized Molecules: The Case of Organic Hydroperoxides

Significant quantities of highly oxidized molecules (HOMs), such as organic hydroperoxides, are formed from the oxidation of biogenic compounds. In this issue of Chem, Dommen and coworkers highlight the fast decomposition of HOMs in the condensed phase, which can potentially affect the chemical and physical properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA).
