Abstract. There is chromophore dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the atmosphere, which may form triplet-state chromophoric dissolved organic matter (3CDOM*) to further driving the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under solar illumination. 3CDOM* contributes significantly to aerosol photochemistry and plays an important role in aerosol aging. We quantify the ability to form 3CDOM* and drive the formation of ROS by primary, secondary and ambient aerosols. Biomass combustion has the strongest 3CDOM* generation capacity and the weakest vehicle emission capacity. Ambient aerosol has a stronger ability to generate 3CDOM* in winter than in summer. Most of the triplet states generation conform to first-order reaction, but some of them do not due to the different quenching mechanism. The structural-activity relationship between the CDOM type and the 3CDOM* formation capacity shows that the two types of CDOM identified, which similar to the nitrogen-containing chromophores contributed 88 % to the formation of 3CDOM*. The estimated formation rate of 3CDOM* can reach ~ 100 μmol m−3 h−1 in the atmosphere in Xi'an, China, which is approximately one hundred thousand-times the hydroxyl radical (•OH) production. This study verified that 3CDOM* drives at least 30 % of the singlet oxygen (1O2) and 31 % of the •OH formed by aerosols using the spin trapping and electron paramagnetic resonance technique.

Revealing the binding properties of calcium ion (Ca2+) and magnesium ion (Mg2+) to chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) facilities understanding the effect of natural water composition on the photophysics of dissolved organic matter. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectrometry, and dynamic light scattering were applied to investigate the fluorescence quenching process of CODM by Ca2+ and Mg2+. The binding of Ca2+ and Mg2+ preferred terrestrial CDOM to aquatic CDOM. The fluorescence quenching of CDOM by cations mainly occurred in a static process, which was based on the fact that the decrease of steady-state fluorescence intensity was greater than fluorescence lifetime. The fluorescence quenching was profound under longer excitation and emission wavelength. The binding constant (K, L/mol) for Ca2+ to CDOM from terrestrial source ranged from 4.29 to 5.09 (lgK), which was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that of Mg2+ to CDOM (3.86 to 4.56). Fluorescence decay became faster in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+. Lifetime distribution of CDOM excited states shifted to small value side in the presence of metal ions, particularly for Ca2+, indicating fluorescence quenching of CDOM mainly through the interaction of Ca2+/Mg2+ with relatively long-lived fluorophores.
