Short summary
This work illustrates how a common volatile hydrocarbon, hexanal, has the potential to undergo atmospheric autoxidation that leads to prompt formation of condensable material that subsequently contributes to aerosol formation, deteriorating the air quality of urban atmospheres. We used the combined state-of-the-art quantum chemical modeling and experimental flow reactor experiments under atmospheric conditions to resolve the autoxidation mechanism of hexanal initiated by a common oxidant.
