Short summary
We have studied the energetics and kinetics of the bimolecular reaction of simple and dimethyl-substituted Criegee intermediates with HONO computationally. The investigation suggests that HONO can be an important sink for Criegee intermediates and a potential source of OH radicals. Our study also reveals that this reaction is also capable of recycling OH • ↔ HO•2 , and hence, can be key in resolving the discrepancy between observed and modeled concentrations of OH and HO2 radicals.
