摘要: 实验研究表明, 三氧化硫(SO3)和甲酸(HCOOH, FA)可以快速反应形成甲酸硫酸酐(HCOOSO3H, FSA), 相较于公认的成核前驱体硫酸(H2SO4, SA)而言, FSA具有较低的饱和蒸汽压和较多的分子间相互作用位点, 可能对大气新粒子形成(NPF)具有潜在贡献, 然而其成核能力尚不清楚, 本文通过密度泛函理论评估了FSA与大气常见62种物质的成核能力, 并将其与其母体化合物甲酸和典型成核前驱体硫酸的成核潜力进行了对比, 整体评估了FSA对新粒子形成的潜在贡献及大气影响. 结果表明, FSA和大气中的常见单体均可自发形成二聚体, 且在与含胺基的18种物质形成的二聚体团簇内部发生了质子转移, 其中, FSA与单乙醇胺(MEA)二体团簇的ΔG值最负, 表明MEA促进FSA的初始成核能力最强. 其次, 基于形成的最稳定团簇FSA-MEA和FSA的成核前体FA, SA分别与MEA形成的二聚体团簇FA-MEA, SA-MEA探究了团簇的水合作用及吸湿性规律, 发现随着水分子(n=0-6)的增多, 团簇的稳定性增加, 在不同的湿度条件下, 二聚体水合物对湿度的敏感性顺序为SA-MEA>FSA-MEA>FA-MEA. 随着尺寸的增大, 团簇的各向同性平均极化率, 瑞利光散射强度均呈线性增加, 其顺序为FSA-MEA>SA-MEA>FA-MEA, 表明FSA-MEA增强大气气溶胶的消光特性能力强于FA-MEA, SA-MEA, 对大气可见度产生不利的影响.

Abstract: Experimental studies demonstrate that sulfur trioxide (SO3) and formic acid (HCOOH, FA) rapidly react to form formic sulfuric anhydride (HCOOSO3H, FSA). Compared with sulfuric acid (H2SO4, SA), a well-established nucleation precursor, FSA exhibits lower saturation vapor pressure and a greater number of intermolecular interaction sites, suggesting its potential contribution to atmospheric new particle formation (NPF). However, its nucleation capability remains unclear. This study employs density functional theory to evaluate the nucleation potential of FSA with 62 common atmospheric species, and compares it with that of its parent compound formic acid and the typical nucleation precursor sulfuric acid, thereby comprehensively assessing FSA’s potential role in NPF and its atmospheric implications. Results indicate that FSA can spontaneously form dimers with common atmospheric monomers, and proton transfer occurs within dimer clusters formed with 18 amine-containing compounds. Among these, the FSA–monoethanolamine (MEA) dimer exhibits the most negative ΔG value, indicating that MEA possesses the strongest ability to promote initial nucleation of FSA. Furthermore, based on the most stable clusters (FSA–MEA, FA–MEA, and SA–MEA), the hydration behavior and hygroscopicity of these dimers were investigated. It was found that cluster stability increases with the number of water molecules (n=0–6). Under varying humidity conditions, the sensitivity of dimer hydrates to humidity follows the order: SA–MEA > FSA–MEA > FA–MEA. As cluster size increases, both the isotropic mean polarizability and Rayleigh scattering intensity increase linearly, in the order: FSA–MEA > SA–MEA > FA–MEA. This suggests that FSA–MEA has a stronger capacity to enhance the light extinction properties of atmospheric aerosols than FA–MEA and SA–MEA, thereby exerting a more adverse impact on atmospheric visibility.
