RESUMO
The effects of photolysis on frozen, thin films of water-ice containing nitrogen dioxide (as its dimer dinitrogen tetroxide) have been investigated using a combination of Fourier transform reflection-absorption infrared (FT-RAIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The release of HONO is ascribed to a mechanism in which nitrosonium nitrate (NO+NO3-) is formed. Subsequent solvation of the cation leads to the nitroacidium ion, H2ONO+, i.e., protonated nitrous acid. The pathway proposed explains why the field measurement of HONO at different polar sites is often contradictory.
