Abstract. The traditional kinetics of electronically excited products of O3 and O2 photolysis is supplemented with the processes of the energy transfer between electronically-vibrationally excited levels O2(a1Δg, v) and O2(b1Σ+g, v), excited atomic oxygen O(1D), and the O2 molecules in the ground electronic state O2(X3Σg−, v). In contrast to the previous models of kinetics of O2(a1Δg) and O2 (b1Σ+g), our model takes into consideration the following basic facts: first, photolysis of O3 and O2 and the processes of energy exchange between the metastable products of photolysis involve generation of oxygen molecules on highly excited vibrational levels in all considered electronic states – b1Σ+g, a1Δg and X3Σg−; second, the absorption of solar radiation not only leads to populating the electronic states on vibrational levels with vibrational quantum number v equal to 0 – O2(b1Σ+g, v=0) (at 762 nm) and O2(a1Δg, v=0) (at 1.27 µm), but also leads to populating the excited electronic–vibrational states O2(b1Σ+g, v=1) and O2(b1Σ+g, v=2) (at 689 nm and 629 nm). The proposed model allows one to calculate not only the vertical profiles of the O2(a1Δg, v=0) and O2(b1Σ

In this work, kinetics of the CH2OO + SO2 ! HCHO + SO3 reaction was studied by ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD). To perform RPMD calculations, multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) was first carried out to compute data for constructing potential energy surface (PES) through a kernel regression method. On the basis of the present MRCI calculations, the statics multi-state mechanism involving the lowest-lying singlet excited state (denoted by S 1) was proposed, which is di?erent from the previously proposed mechanism with the lowest-lying triplet state (denoted by T1). Moreover, the present RPMD calculations predicted the rate coe?cient of 3:95?10􀀀11cm3 molecule􀀀1s􀀀1 at the room temperature (namely 298 K), agreeing with the previously reported experimental values. Finally, based on the present calculations, a probable dynamics mechanism was discussed, where the produced HCHO molecule was proposed to be in a vibrationally excited state. This needs further experimental and theoretical observation in the future.<br>
