Short summary
This study investigates the formation of hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HMHP) through methanesulfonic acid (MSA)-catalyzed hydrolysis of CH2OO in the gas phase and at the air-water interface. HMHP forms rapidly and stably in both environments. Further analysis shows that HMHP enhances the stability of MSA-methylamine (MA) clusters and highlights HMHP's key role in MSA-MA-HMHP nucleation, especially in urban and forested regions.
